Integration of Hardware in the Loop with Brake Pedal Robot and Control the System via dSpace

A highly increasing demand for using Hardware in the Loop is significant in automotive field and using HIL is increasing. This study shows the development of a brake pedal robot integration with Hardware in the Loop (HIL). The aim is to get the connection between brake pedal robot and HIL via Profibus successfully. Success will be defined by evaluation of the pedal robot control via control desk (dSPACE). To get the connection between dSPACE and brake pedal robot, a full SIMULINK model has been created. As a result, the brake pedal robot control by using dSPACE will represent. Force and position control can be achieved by installing the load cell and LVDT on the pedal. In this study, with help of control desk (dSPACE), the analysis on each parameters of PID controller will discuss and the best values for the parameters will demonstrate.
