Detailed description

Detailed description of the HIL Breakout Board.

HIL Breakout Board is a passive board, designed to break out signals typically found on a single row, on any HIL device. HIL signals, such as HIL analog outputs, are accessible via the spring-cage terminal block array. This array consists of multiple push-in, spring-cage type connectors. These connectors accept wires with or without ferrules, with up to a 1.5mm² cross section.

All signals are routed from the front (female) DIN41612 connectors, to the rear (male) DIN41612 connectors, without changing the pinout. Thus, the HIL Breakout Board can act as a pass-through extension board, which enables daisy-chaining of multiple HIL Accessories.

HIL devices typically feature a multi-rail PSU section, labeled as User PSU. The HIL Breakout Board features 6 LEDs, which indicate the correct operation of all channels of the User PSU section.
