Your system was fully tested at the factory. However, you can execute the tests to check if all is functioning as expected and get familiar with RT-LAB and your system. This step is optional.

Execute a Simple Functional Test and Demo

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 a project file containing 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 details: https://opal-rt.atlassian.net/wiki/x/_QiPC

Note

The project includes the bitstream you need to use in your models.

Note that in the OPAL-RT user documentation, the words “bitstream” and “firmware” are used as synonyms.

Download, on your PC, the project file below, that includes the integration test model file.

...

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 OP4512 I/O System for all DB37 and DB9 pin assignment.

Refer to these pages for more details

  1. Import the eHS bitstream configuration file in Schematic Editor by following the instructions is the next section.

  2. Connect the analog outputs to the analog inputs using the I/O cables as described inthis section:

    1. Import the project with the eHS test model in RT-LAB

    2. Build the test model

    3. Load the test model in the simulator

    4. Execute the model

    5. Observe the Aout feedback on the Ain using the eHS test model. Expand the section below to see how.
      If the signals can be read in the console, it means that the signals were transmitted successfully thought the eHS block and that eHS is functioning and configured correctly.

Note: Only one block of 8 analog inputs is used due to the maximum I/O limitations of the minimum eHSx16 default configuration.
