ABB has partnered with Typhoon HIL to create the DriveLab ACS880 HIL Compatible digital twin. This collaboration between leading industry players will empower a wide range of industrial customers with a realistic, scalable, and easy to use real-time simulation platform.
DriveLab ACS880 is the next generation of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation technology. It is specifically tailored and geared towards simplifying the integration of ABB variable speed drives (VSD) systems. It will enable customers to quickly test and validate the system via a test automation capability which is a key component of top-tier customer support.
HIL simulation is used to validate both component and system-level behaviour of the drives and drive systems in real-world applications ranging from compressors, conveyers, and cranes to large-scale energy storage, microgrids and more. The DriveLab ACS880 serves as a digital twin, integrating the control hardware, firmware, and software of the ACS880 drives with Typhoon HIL’s high-fidelity digital models. These digital models virtually represent the ACS880 drive’s hardware, including its connected components, such as the grid, motors, filters, batteries, protection devices, and the electro-mechanical elements.
