The OP8666 DSP controller board is based on the popular TI C2000 series of microcontrollers that support direct programming from MATLAB Simulink, PSIM as well as embedded C making it capable of handling advanced control algorithms. This versatility is especially powerful for power electronics applications, where the OP8666 can be used for Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) and conventional embedded development. It’s a perfect tool for validation of power converters control methods. Keeping that in mind, the OP8666 was designed to benefit fully from the RCP functionality while providing maximum integration and communication options.
The OP8666 interfaces directly to OPAL-RT real-time simulators through the DB37 connectors on the rear panel. This enables a low cost RCP controller HIL solution, which can reduce the development time and increase flexibility without investing on the hardware prior to finalizing the control system.
