Hardware in the Loop (HIL) enables manufacturers to thoroughly test complex systems where signals from a controller, for example, are applied to a software simulator. This dramatically reduces the amount of test time needed to run thousands of tests compared to performing actual physical testing.

A manufacturer of HIL systems required 750W and 1500W programmable power supplies capable of operating up to 30V for a new development. The products had to be remotely controlled using a LAN interface. TDK-Lambda suggested the GEN30-25-LAN and the GEN30-50-LAN models which were selected for the program.

The chosen models are 1U in height, have a five-year warranty, and have built-in RS-232/RS-485 interfaces. All models in the GENESYS™ series share common programming functions, allowing for future upgrades if required. The advanced parallel function can report the total current of up to four units.

TDK-Lambda offers a wide range of programmable AC-DC power supplies. Click here for more information
