INTERFACES
FOR HARDWARE IN THE LOOP
For the present and future owners of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators, imperix provides interface boards that feature either:
- 16 optical inputs and 16 analog outputs
- 16 optical outputs and 16 analog inputs
No change in the control code is necessary to switch from HIL-simulated converter to a real-world physical converter, as the cables can be just swapped from one system to another.
This interface allows to control imperix power modules from a HIL simulator. It provides the necessary signal connections to easily wire the digital outputs of the OPAL-RT hardware to the command inputs of the power modules, and retrieve any useful measurement to its analog inputs.

The module is a break-out board for easy access to the high-speed digital I/Os of the B-Box RCP. It is compatible with all 4 sockets (A,B,C and D).
It offers:
- 68-pin VHDCI shielded cable (1m)
- 4 banks of 9 screw terminals
- Easy access to GND
- Brackets for DIN rail mounting

For the cases where the RJ45 connectors cannot be implemented, a simple adapter can be used to interface any sensors to the B-Box RCP. This adapter can be directly ordered at imperix, or downloaded free of charge here.
CABLES
 | your price |
Used as isolated gate-drive interfaces, these fiberoptic cables can be used to connect the B-Box RCP control platform to your gate drivers. The standard length is 2m.
 | your price |
These cables are ideal to connect the analog outputs of the B-Box RCP to any external monitoring device such as an oscilloscope. The standard length is 1m.
 | your price |
RJ45 cables feature well shielded twisted pairs of conductors, which is ideal for the transfer of analog signals from sensors to the B-Box RCP. Standard length is 2m.
 | your price |
These cables are used to connect together multiple B-Box or B-Board units in master-slave configurations, thanks to the patent-pending RealSync technology. Standard length is 1m.
