NI-Key Considerations for Powertrain HIL Test
Safety, availability, and cost considerations can make performing thorough tests of embedded control devices
using the complete system impractical. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation is a real-time test technique
used to test these devices more efficiently. During HIL test, the physical system that interfaces to an
embedded control device is simulated on real-time hardware, and the outputs of the simulator mimic the
actual output of the physical system. The embedded controller “thinks” it is in a real system. HIL simulation
meticulously tests embedded control devices in a virtual environment before proceeding to real-world tests
of the complete system. This application note covers recommended best practices for powertrain HIL testing.
