The RCP-Box-15EG by Impedyme is a cutting-edge modular control platform purpose-built for Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation in power electronics. This system is crucial for engineers and researchers looking to accelerate development cycles and validate advanced converter control strategies with unmatched speed and precision.

Key Advantages and Technology:

The core of the system is a high-performance architecture featuring a user-programmable Ultrascale+ FPGA and a $1\ \text{GHz}$ dual-core ARM processor, supporting closed-loop control speeds up to $250\ \text{kHz}$. This is vital for applications using wide bandgap devices (SiC and GaN), which demand ultra-fast PWM control.

What sets the RCP-Box apart is its industry-grade signal conditioning and next-gen PWM generation. It includes a fully configurable Analog Front-End and extensive I/Os (around $150$ user-defined I/Os per unit) tailored to complex power electronics needs. Proprietary RealSync Technology ensures seamless integration and nanosecond-level precision synchronization of multiple units (stackable up to $64$ units) to function as one massively scalable controller.

The platform also incorporates software-independent safety mechanisms and supports seamless integration with model-based design environments like MATLAB/Simulink, allowing for direct deployment of control algorithms to real-time hardware.

Ideal Applications:

The RCP-Box-15EG is perfectly suited for electric drive systems (traction inverters), electric mobility (EV powertrains, charging systems), energy storage solutions, and renewable energy technologies (solar inverters and wind converters).
