Overview

Overview of the purpose of the HIL Connect.

Note: This documentation describes HIL Connect devices with part number 22126. For older devices, the ones with part number 20010, please refer to the Universal HIL Connect User Guide (PDF).

Warning: HIL Connects shipped with "Universal" configuration may output voltages of up to ~200 V AC on slots A and B. Do not touch exposed pins, or short with metal objects.

The HIL Connect is a rack-mount signal conditioning device, designed to convert HIL voltage levels (e.g. +/-10 V HIL analog outputs) to levels commonly used in the power electronics, or power systems industry (e.g. 130 V RMS). It is designed to be used with any HIL device, and has a capacity to condition one row of HIL I/O (up to: 32 x AO, 16 x AI, 32 x DO, 32 x DI).

Together with applicable card modules, the HIL Connect enables seamless integration with a wide variety of devices, most commonly:

Protective relays
Diesel Genset controllers
Power electronic controllers
Industrial automation equipment

The front of the device features connectors to interface with a single row of HIL I/O, while the rear panel provides connection points for external equipment.
