7 Background Bloomy s Aerospace & Defense Experience Large Scale DAQ Automated Test Equipment HIL & RT Test Systems Data Logging & Analysis Data Recording & Playback 7

8 What is a System Integration Lab? SIL = System Integration Lab Controlled Test Environment System Design Verification Real & Simulated Components Hardware & Software Integration Reduces Budget and Schedule Risk Necessary for Complex Systems 8

9 Example: Ground Vehicle 9

10 Example: Ground Vehicle 10

11 The Big Picture SIL Design Objectives Reduce Cost & Mitigate Risk Provide Scalability and Flexibility Manage Development Cycle Mismatch Strategy Design intelligent component interfaces 11

12 Why use a SIL? 12

13 Who Utilizes SILs? Many Aerospace & Defense organizations [1] Organizations developing complex systems Boeing UTAS Airbus Lockheed Martin Sikorsky Northrup Grumman BAE Systems Raytheon General Dynamics Rockwell Collins Repeatability is key and automation is the key to repeatability!

14 Recap: Challenges Data Acquisition Requirements Test Capability Requirements Diversity of Systems under Test System Interconnect Requirements Large Signal Variety Budgetary Constraints 14

15 Recap: Required Tools Programming Environments Modeling/Simulation Environments Data Acquisition Devices Synchronization Sources Control Systems HMI Components Test Executives Analysis Tools Data Storage 15

16 COTS Hardware + Integrated Software Tools Reduces risk Reduces cost Proven solutions Widely available support Industry standard Flexible toolchain 16

17 Addressing SIL Goals with NI SIL Requirement System models Component simulation Data acquisition Data analysis Legacy (3 rd party) systems Custom applications Real time applications Custom hardware behavior Closed loop control Test execution Synchronization Fault insertion NI Tool Veristand, Model Int. Toolkit Veristand based HIL DAQmx, PXI, C-Series DIADem, LabVIEW TCP/IP, VISA, OPC, Etc. LabVIEW LabVIEW RT, PXI, CRIO, FPGA LabVIEW FPGA, FlexRIO FPGA, CRIO, PXI, Veristand TestStand NI-Sync, PXI PXI, NI-Switch 17

18 Benefits of Platform Standardization Tools targeted at engineers Single toolchain to support entire development process Standardization provides clear metrics for evaluating resources Configuration based environments allow for separation of responsibilities Development vs. Configuration vs. Operation 18

19 3rd Party and Legacy Systems 3rd Party Systems PLC Control Systems Facility Safety Systems SCADA Systems Laboratory Instrumentation Legacy Systems Proprietary Organizational Requirement 19

20 Communication Protocol Support Wide communication protocol support Industry standard protocols + native APIs OPC TCP/IP UDP USB Serial Fieldbus Modbus ARINC-429 MIL-STD 1553 PROFIBUS EtherCAT CAN DeviceNet 20

21 Distributed Systems Infrastructure Native NI architectures for data communication Network Published Shared Variables I/O Servers OPC Servers Network Streams CVT Client Communication Reflective Memory ZeroMQ Web Services And more 21

24 HIL Prototyping & Testing HIL = Hardware In the Loop Interface system components with simulated componentry Simulated components have a hardware interface Leverage modeling to represent system dynamics Image: Ni.com Image: Embedded.com 24

25 Veristand Configuration based HIL and RT Test Environment Provides RT Engine Allows seamless model integration Native hardware integration Numerous means for customization = Lower Cost Smoother Integration Image: Ni.com Image: Embedded.com 25

26 Modeling and Simulation Provide capability to swap between real and simulated hardware Develop more thorough test cases Simulated hardware allows for expansive fault generation Test corner cases Save time and budget by simulating complex faults vs. generating them in real hardware Model system dynamics before hardware is available Seamlessly integrate with familiar modeling environments 26
