For a simple functional test of your system, you can execute one of the model examples provided as demos.
For example, you can load and execute the “rtdemo1” demo model, which is a PID controller. This model does not use the I/Os of your system.
If this model is running as expected, you know that your system basic configuration is correct.

The procedure is explained in this page of the RT-LAB user documentation: https://opal-rt.atlassian.net/wiki/x/MoiPC

...

We provide you the integration test model used to test your system in the factory.

Info

Please, refer to this page in the RT-LAB user documentation for a detail: https://opal-rt.atlassian.net/wiki/x/_QiPC

Note

The model includes the bitstream you should always use.

Download the integration test model file below on your PC.

...

  • Use the current workspace or use an existing workspace or create a new workspace in RT-LAB.

  • Import the integration test model in RT-LAB

    • Click File > Import

    • Select General > Existing Projects into Workspace

    • Choose Select archive file, then click the Browse button

    • Select the downloaded zip file and click Open, then click Finish

  • Build the integration test model

    • In the “HIL2GO_100_integration_test” tree, click Models.

    • Right click on IO_test and select Simulation > Build configurations…

    • Select your target (simulator) in the drop-down list “Development Node: on OPAL-RT (x64-based)

    • Click OK.

    • The model start building up. When done, the build log can be viewed under the Compilation tab in the bottom right panel.

    • Load the model.

    • Execute the model.

    • Use the MATLAB Simulink console to view signals and check if all the inputted signals corresponds to the outputted signals. See next sectionthe following sections.

Connect the I/O cables

Use the loopback flat ribbon cable IDC40 to DB37M and the loopback board DB37, 40 positions with Vuser. See this page.

Note

Before connecting the cables, make sure that the voltages or other electrical specifications are compatible with OPAL-RT DB37/DB9 specifications of I/O modules OP5330, OP5342 and, OP5369. See section HIL2GO-100 - OP4512 I/O System for all DB37 and DB9 pin assignment.
