Hardware in the Loop Testing

Testing control algorithms can be time-consuming, expensive, and potentially unsafe if you decide to test against the real system. To remain competitive and deliver high-quality controller software, test engineers have replaced traditional testing methods with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing. HIL testing lets you verify your controller design without the complete system hardware: rely on a real-time plant simulator that acts as a digital twin of the real system or parts of it, benefiting you in practicality and cost.
