At DEICO, we provide comprehensive Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) solutions tailored to meet the diverse requirements of our customers. Our systems integrate cutting-edge hardware and software components to deliver precise, scalable, and efficient testing platforms. Below, we outline the key offerings that make DEICO your ideal partner for HIL test systems.
- Host User Interfaces
We develop intuitive and flexible Host User Interfaces (Host UI) using platforms like LabVIEW, VeriStand, and C# to provide seamless control and monitoring capabilities. These user interfaces are designed to run on Windows-based systems, offering a familiar and efficient environment for engineers to execute test scenarios, log data, and analyze results. Our UIs are fully customizable to align with your specific testing workflows and improve overall usability.
- Real-Time Hardware
DEICO delivers high-performance real-time hardware based on the PXI Express form factor, enabling deterministic execution of control algorithms and simulation models. In addition to hardware, we develop and supply the real-time software required for control and data acquisition, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. Our real-time platforms are designed to handle complex models with high accuracy, supporting demanding HIL applications across various industries.
- Signal Conditioning
We design and manufacture SLSC (Switch Load Signal Conditioning) modules in-house to meet your signal routing, failure injection, and conditioning needs. These modules provide capabilities such as real/sim routing, fault injection for robustness testing, and signal adaptation for compatibility between the UUT and HIL system. By leveraging modular SLSC hardware, we ensure flexibility, scalability, and precise signal management tailored to your specific requirements.
- Sensor & Load Simulation
For sensor and load simulation, DEICO offers both custom-designed solutions and systems built from off-the-shelf components. Whether you require tailored hardware to replicate complex sensor behavior or a combination of standard components for load simulation, we adapt our designs to meet your exact needs. From replicating temperature, pressure, and speed sensors to simulating motor loads or electrical resistances, we ensure accurate environmental emulation for comprehensive UUT testing.
- Power, Network, and Instrumentation Integration
For power, network, and measurement requirements, DEICO integrates off-the-shelf components from trusted suppliers. These include power supplies, Ethernet switches, oscilloscopes, and digital multimeters. By combining high-quality commercial products with our expertise in system integration, we ensure reliable and precise instrumentation tailored to your HIL testing needs.
- Mass Interconnect Interfaces
To standardize Unit Under Test (UUT) connections and streamline testing, we utilize mass interconnect systems. These interfaces provide reliable, modular, and repeatable connections for high-density signal routing. Advantages include simplified test setup, reduced wiring complexity, and the ability to rapidly switch between UUTs, making your test process more efficient and less prone to errors.
- Test Automation
To improve efficiency and consistency in testing workflows, DEICO provides TestPlanner, our advanced test automation tool. TestPlanner enables users to design, execute, and manage automated test sequences in an intuitive and flexible environment. It supports a variety of testing needs, from functional tests to complex regression scenarios. By reducing manual effort and ensuring repeatable, reliable test execution, TestPlanner helps accelerate development cycles and enhances the quality of testing processes.
At DEICO, our mission is to deliver fully integrated HIL solutions that combine advanced technology, in-house engineering, and flexible customization to exceed your expectations. Whether you need a complete system or specific components, we ensure that your testing platform is reliable, scalable, and ready for the most demanding applications.
