Closed-Loop Real-Time HIL Simulation Setup: By Use of Modbus and IEEE C37.118.2 Protocols
This course begins by an online lecture that elaborates the use of communication protocols, in particular the Modbus and the IEEE C37.118.2 protocols, to set up a closed loop real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation environment. Not available at the moment, the course is intended to continue by remote access to our RT-HIL simulation facility where the course participants attain hands-on experience configuring real-time simulators to act as PMU data client and server, and also as Modbus master and slave. If you are interested to participate in our hands-on training sessions, please sign up below.
Anyone who is familiar with fundamentals of RT-HIL simulation and would like to learn setting up a closed loop RT-HIL simulation environment by use of Modbus and IEEE C37.118.2 protocols!
The RT-HIL Academy course on “Real-Time Hardware-In-The-Loop Simulation: Fundamentals & Popular Platforms” is a highly recommended prerequisite for this course.
Upon completion of the course, you will:
- Gain basic understanding to set up an RT-HIL simulation environment by use of communication protocols
- Become familiar with PMU IEEE C37.118 and Modbus communication protocols, and their implementations in RTDS and OPAL-RT simulators
- Gain hands-on experience setting up a closed loop RT-HIL simulation environment with RTDS and OPAL-RT simulators
- A quick recap of the concept of real-time hardware-in-loop (RT-HIL) simulation
- Use of communication protocols to set up an RT-HIL simulation environment
- What is a communication protocol?
- Phasor versus Synchrophasor
- What is a Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)?
- Introduction to IEEE C37.118.2 protocol
- Introduction to Modbus
- How to set up a closed-loop RT-HIL simulation environment using IEEE C37.118.2 and Modbus protocols
- Hands-on training
Upon successful completion of the course, you will earn an RT-HIL Academy Certificate of Completion; a proof that you have knowledge and hands-on experience setting up a closed loop RT-HIL simulation environment by use of Modbus and IEEE C37.118.2 protocols.
In order to take the course hands-on training session, you would need:

Online Lecture
Hands-on Training Session
We, at RT-HIL Academy, are setting up a platform for remote access to our RT-HIL simulation facility, where the course participants attain hands-on experience configuring real-time simulators to act as PMU data client and server, and also as Modbus master and slave. If you are interested, please sign up below to receive a notification once our platform is launched. Please note that this service will be offered for a fee.
