Drive Emulator
Precise Testing for Modern Drive Systems
Motor emulators are specialized testing systems that accurately replicate the electrical behavior of real motors. At the heart of each system is a flexibly configurable DC motor model that can be tailored to a wide range of test conditions. Even critical scenarios such as short circuits or line interruptions can be realistically simulated. As a result, motor emulators enable safe, controlled, and reproducible testing processes, providing a solid foundation for the development of next-generation drive technologies.
A high-speed interface allows the integration of motor models from external simulators. This enables seamless incorporation into existing simulation environments and opens up extended application possibilities, such as hardware-in-the-loop testing or comprehensive drivetrain evaluations using manufacturer-specific models.
Motor Emulators Enable Efficient and Sustainable Testing
The use of motor emulators reduces the need for physical test motors and test benches. This not only lowers costs but also conserves resources and reduces environmental impact. Thanks to their high adaptability, a wide variety of motor types and sizes can be simulated with a single system. This enhances investment security while also minimizing space requirements in the lab.
