    Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a technique used to test control systems for complex machines by replacing the physical plant with an accurate simulator. The simulator mimics the plant's behavior and allows the control system to be tested as if connected to the real plant. Some HIL simulators include 3D visualization, making them useful for training operators without risk in hazardous or costly real-world situations. HIL testing tricks controllers into thinking they are connected to the physical system, allowing extensive testing of scenarios without the cost and time of physical tests.

    Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation

    Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation is a technique that is used for the development and
    testing of control systems which are used for the operation of complex machines and systems

    With HIL simulation the plant is replaced by a


    simulation of the plant (which we call the HIL
    simulator). If the HIL simulator is designed well,
    it will accurately mimic the real plant, and can
    be used to test the control system. Therefore it is
    also named HIL testing.

    Some HIL simulators are equipped with 3D


    visualization and represent the plant so well that
    they can be used for training. These HIL
    simulators are called Training Simulators
    Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
    Modern machines have many actuators and are loaded with sensors. A control system will
    therefore have many connections with the machine to convert actuator setpoints and read
    sensor data

    A pure HIL simulator will mimic the plant at


    the connection level and allow the wires to be
    switched from the plant IO to the HIL simulator
    IO.

    If the HIL simulation has been completed, you


    switch the wires to the plant and start the
    machine
    Training Simulator

    When a HIL simulator is equipped with 3D


    visualization and can represent the plant very
    well, it can be used for training. These HIL
    simulators are called training simulators.

    Training simulators are very useful when


    operating on a real machine can be hazardous or
    is very costly. It allows operators to be trained
    in a secure environment in standard and non-
    standard situations
    Application
    HIL testing is a technique where real signals from a controller are connected to a test system
    that simulates reality, tricking the controller into thinking it is in the assembled product. Test
    and design iteration take place as though the real-world system is being used. You can easily
    run through thousands of possible scenarios to properly exercise your controller without the
    cost and time associated with actual physical tests.

    Again, consider a car. The engine ECU is responsible for converting sensor measurements
    into action such as adjusting air intake when the accelerator is depressed
    Application
    An HIL test replaces the engine with a simulation comprising hardware and software that
    interacts with real I/O as though the physical engine were present. Because updates can be
    made in software, you can quickly incorporate ECU or engine software changes, test a wide
    breadth of relevant scenarios, and expand test coverage as needed to fearlessly and
    comprehensively test without risk to a physical, costly system.
