Abstract :
This paper presents a modular control platform which is tailored for teaching and research applications. It aims at being entirely “student-proof” and features software-independent safety mechanisms, extensive signal conditioning and easy-to-use interfaces, dedicated to power electronics. A practical example with various HIL simulation results illustrates the attractiveness of the presented platform.
