iC7 System Module
HIL Compatible®

Bring Danfoss iC7 Control into the HIL Loop

Real Controllers. Real-Time Simulation. Safer Drive Validation.

HIL Compatible® Technology for Danfoss iC7

The iC7 System Module HIL Compatible®, developed in collaboration between Danfoss Drives and Typhoon HIL, provides high-fidelity C-HIL simulation of various iC7 System Module drives – including iC7 Automation, iC7 Marine, and iC7 Hybrid System Modules. It includes the actual Danfoss iC7 controller seamlessly interfaced with the real-time simulator and model. This solution enables teams to confidently develop, validate, and optimize drive systems to ensure they meet the highest standards for performance, safety, and reliability.

Danfoss iC7 System Module allows you to:

  • Validate performance with high fidelity: Validate the functionality and performance in real-time conditions before system integration.
  • Enhance safety and reduce risk: Safely test rare, complex, and high-risk scenarios that are impractical or unsafe to reproduce with physical hardware.
  • Save time and reduce costs: Streamline testing processes with efficient HIL technology, speeding up development timelines and cutting costs.
  • Maintain continuous testing throughout the product lifecycle: Have a consistent and unified testing approach for each new firmware update or parameter set.
