Design and Temporal Analysis of Hardware-in-the-loop Simulation for Testing Motor Control Unit

This paper describes a design and temporal analysis of a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation environment for testing a motor control unit (MCU). The design concepts and main characteristics including unavoidable time delays of each component module are described. From temporal analysis results according to the module integration method, an appropriate solution is proposed to fix and minimize time delays. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution, the HIL test results are compared with the results of experiments and an offline simulation.
