“…The model can be created in MATLAB/Simulink to reduce the design effort, and it can be translated into HDL code using MATLAB HDL coder or System Generator if the target device is a Xilinx FPGA. For instance, the HDL code of a back-to-back IGBT-base converter was obtained in [29] using MATLAB/Simulink HDL Coder.…”

This paper aims to compare different design alternatives of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) for emulating power converters in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It proposes various numerical formats (fixed and floating-point) and different approaches (pure VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL), Intellectual Properties (IPs), automated MATLAB HDL code, and High-Level Synthesis (HLS)) to design power converters. Although the proposed models are simple power electronics HIL systems, the idea can be extended to any HIL system. This study compares the design effort of different coding methods and numerical formats considering possible synthesis tools (Precision and Vivado), and it comprises an analytical discussion in terms of area and speed. The different models are synthesized as ad-hoc modules in general-purpose FPGAs, but also using the NI myRIO device as an example of a commercial tool capable of implementing HIL models. The comparison confirms that the optimum design alternative must be chosen based on the application (complexity, frequency, etc.) and designers’ constraints, such as available area, coding expertise, and design effort.

“…Signal registration and recording can be performed by Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware and software [8]. For example, based on the PXI 1062 platform [9], with the NIPXI 5600 frequency reduction module and the NIPXI 5142 ADC [10]. The output signals of this converter are samples of in-phase and quadrature components, the frequency spectrum of which is shifted to the region of zero intermediate frequency.…”

Efficient Hardware-in-the-Loop Models Using Automatic Code Generation with MATLAB/Simulink

2023

Hardware-in-the-loop testing is usually a part of the design cycle of control systems. Efficient and fast models can be created in a Hardware Description Language (HDL), which is implemented in a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Control engineers are more skilled in higher-level approaches. HDL models derived automatically from schematics have noticeably lower performance, while HDL models derived from their equations are faster and smaller. However, even models translated automatically into HDL using the equations might be worse than manually coded models. A design workflow is proposed to achieve manual-like performance with automatic tools. It consists of the identification of similar operations, forcing signal signedness, and adjusting to multiplier input sizes. A detailed comparison was performed between three workflows: (1) translation of high-level MATLAB code, (2) translation of a Simulink model, and (3) working directly in the HDL. Sources of inefficiency were shown in a buck converter, and the process was validated in a full-bridge with electrical losses using a Runge–Kutta method. The results showed that the proposed approach delivered code that performed very close to a reference VHDL implementation, even for complex designs. Finally, the model was implemented in an off-the-shelf FPGA board suitable for a hardware-in-the-loop test setup.
