Early testing in motor control projects

DENA jan/Feb 2025

The article highlights the benefits of early testing in motor controll projects to improve development efficiency. Traditional late testing can miss costly problems, while early testing identifies and fixes them early.
The use of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing creates a realistic test environment without the need for physical hardware. This article explains how to set up such test environments, develop automated test cases, and integrate them into continuous integration (CI) pipelines.
A real-world example shows how automation and simulation can save significant time and resources. Finally, common pitfalls and avoidance strategies are discussed.
The results provide valuable insights for developers who want to make their projects more efficient and reliable.
