B-Box is a rapid control prototyping (RCP) system for power electronics applications. With high software and hardware flexibility, it facilitates experimental validation of power converter control techniques.
The system is fully programmable, including both its DSP and FPGA processor, so even the most advanced control algorithms can be effectively tested in a laboratory environment. The RCP controller also supports real-time monitoring and debugging.
