GENERAL DESCRIPTION
B-Box RCP is a modular control platform, exclusively tailored for Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) applications in power electronics. Thanks to its high performance and flexibility, it facilitates the experimental validation of power converters control techniques in R&D environments. Also, this system has been designed from the start with synchronous sampling applications in mind. It therefore offers a large configurability and guarantees a very strict management of timings and phase shifts, from analog inputs to PWM outputs, including in networked configurations. Performance is not left on the side either, since its dual-core ARM processor and Kintex-grade FPGA support closed loop control application up to hundreds of kHz ! Besides, for the most demanding applications, B-Boxes can be stacked up forming a networked control system of up to 64 units and thousands of I/Os. Networked B-Box configurations are supported by RealSync, a proprietary technology that guarantees sub-μs transfer latency and ns-scale synchronization accuracy.
