xTEF: From testing to market – the strategic role of TEFs in European Industry

HIL development and component/integration testing for control systems/control algorithms/systems.

Service description

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing combines software simulations with real control hardware to validate control systems, control algorithms and automation software before deployment in industrial applications. The service enables relevant operating conditions and system behaviour to be reproduced in a controlled environment, allowing potential flaws, unexpected responses and integration issues to be identified at an early development stage. HIL testing can support both conventional and AI-assisted control functions and helps reduce development risk and the need for repeated testing on complete physical systems.

Expected results:

System or component model developed or adapted for the agreed HIL testing scope

Results of system, control and integration testing under agreed operating scenarios

Identification of unexpected system behaviour, integration issues or functional limitations

Evaluation of the tested control or AI-assisted functionality against agreed requirements

Recommendations supporting further development, integration and faster prototyping

Methodology:
  • Needs and Requirements
  • Analysis;
  • Model;
Target:

Manufacturers, automation technology providers, control-system developers and system integrators developing control software, control algorithms or AI-assisted automation functions for industrial and manufacturing systems.
