In this example, we use the eHSx64_Dual_PMSM_VDQ_IO_7868R configuration to deploy to a PXIe-7868R card.  The configuration includes one eHSx64 solver, multiple signal generators (Sinewaves, PWM, SPWM), and a PMSM BLDC Machine Model.  Although this configuration allows us to simulate two PMSM machines, they will not be used in this example.

For more information about supported hardware configurations, please refer to the Supported Hardware Configurations section.

 

  • In the Configuration Tree, expand Controller >> Custom Devices to display the Power Electronics Add-On custom device.

  • Click OPAL-RT Power Electronics Add-On to open the configuration page. 

  • The Configuration dropdown lists the supported hardware configurations of the Add-On.  Confirm that the correct configuration is selected.

  • In NI MAX, ensure that the FPGA target is named FPGA0.  For more information, see How to Select a Hardware Configuration.

  • Click Save.
