iC7 System Module
HIL Compatible®
Bring Danfoss iC7 Control into the HIL Loop
HIL Compatible® Technology for Danfoss iC7 System Products
Co-developed with Danfoss Drives, the MyDrive HIL iC7 System Drive is a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) solution purpose-built for the iC7 System Module family — Danfoss’s multi-converter architecture for high-power industrial, marine, and hybrid applications. Each system includes real Danfoss control hardware, firmware, and software for authentic C-HIL testing across all iC7 System Module variants: iC7-Automation, iC7-Marine, and iC7-Hybrid.
A single unit hosts three fully independent controllers, and multiple units can be combined to mirror larger, real-world system configurations. Engineers can develop, validate, and commission applications on actual control hardware in a safe test environment.
iC7 System Module HIL Compatible® allows you to:
- Test difficult scenarios safely: Validate critical operating conditions in a controlled environment while reducing the risk of equipment damage.
- Reduce commissioning time: Optimize and verify system behaviour earlier to cut test and commissioning time from days to hours.
- Maintain and improve over the lifetime: Run automated tests on every software update to keep the system reliable long after commissioning.

MyDrive HIL for faster iC-7 Integration and Optimization
Danfoss is releasing a MyDrive CHIL test unit for their iC-7 inverter platform. Typhoon HIL users can now integrate this MyDrive CHIL into their Typhoon racks and use them to rapidly innovate and prototype power conversion systems, evaluate iC-7 programming configurations, study functional output behaviors and validate overall system performance with the highest fidelity possible in a simulation environment. Danfoss’ commitment to CHIL innovation and user collaboration will significantly accelerate their customers’ ability to integrate and optimize the iC-7 inverter platform.
