Controllers & Interfaces

Controllers are essential blocks in any power electronics system. The main function of a controller is to implement a high-performance control system and protect the system against any faults. Modern controllers are divided into two categories:

Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) Controllers

These controllers are capable of implementing the control system directly from the simulation software used to simulate the whole power electronics system. This accelerates the research and development of a high-performance control system since it bypasses the embedded programming stage which is the standard in the industry.

Embedded Controllers

These controllers require embedded programming which gives a lot of flexibility and optimization space to implement the control system and auxiliary functions. However, since embedded programming is a lengthy and difficult task, these controllers are usually tested initially with HIL Real-Time Simulators before moving to power electronics hardware implementation.

Taraz Technologies controllers come in two form factors. The standalone controller option such as the PE-RCP Box and the controller modules option such as the PEController and PE-RCP (same as the PE-RCP Box in module form factor). The controller modules are panel mountable which makes them ideal for final product integration once the development is complete. In addition, to accelerate the development of embedded control systems, embedded C libraries for the PEController are also provided along with multiple application examples, which will save a lot of initial development time.
