Hardware in loop simulation platform, as an important comprehensive test and verification means of FADEC system, is indispensable. It is necessary to explore and master a series of key technologies such as FADEC software and hardware architecture, control strategy, fault diagnosis and automatic test, and carry out a series of simulation tests such as engine state closed-loop, so as to ensure the smooth development of FADEC system integration and test.

The real electronic controller or health management device is used in the hardware in the loop stage, and the controlled object is simulated by the simulation computer. By introducing the actual physical interface (such as real controller), the full digital simulation model is transformed into a real-time simulation model with real physical interface, and the interface is tested in real time, which lays the foundation for the subsequent integration test. Through the simulation system, the tester controls the engine state and the flight of the aircraft, and completes all kinds of simulation tests.
