B-Box_RCP

B-Box RCP  3.0 Rapid prototyping controller The B-Box RCP accelerates the development and experimental validation of converter control techniques in a laboratory environment. GENERAL DESCRIPTION B-Box RCP is a modular control platform, exclusively tailored for Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) applications in power electronics. Thanks to its high performance and flexibility, it facilitates the experimental validation of power converters control techniques in R&D environments. The B-Box notably distinguishes from other RCP solutions by its fully programmable analog front-end, its advanced Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) capabilities, as well as its numerous and specialized I/Os. Also, this system has been designed from the start with synchronous sampling applications in mind. It therefore offers a large configurability and guarantees a very strict management of timings and phase shifts, from analog inputs to PWM outputs, including in networked configurations. Performance is not left on the side either, since its dual-core ARM processor and Kintex-grade FPGA support closed loop control application up to hundreds of kHz ! Besides, for the most demanding applications, B-Boxes can be stacked up forming a networked control system of up to 64 units and thousands of I/Os. Networked B-Box configurations are supported by RealSync, a proprietary technology that guarantees sub-μs transfer latency and ns-scale synchronization accuracy. Thanks to this technology, stacked configurations can be ...
