PLECS Coder – Code Generation for Power Electronics Microcontrollers

PLECS Coder is a fast, easy-to-use tool for generating embedded code directly from your control schematic, without the need for hand-coding. It is designed for engineers working on power electronics and electrical drive applications. It allows for smooth graphical programming of microcontrollers with integrated peripheral support.

With dedicated blocks for PWM, ADC, and GPIOs, PLECS Coder makes hardware configuration straightforward and helps you design nested control loops effortlessly. Its offline peripheral models allow for accurate simulation within the PLECS environment. This feature is perfect for quick testing, debugging, and deployment.

Whether you are working with TI C2000, STMicro STM32, or Infineon XMC families, PLECS Coder supports fast migration and multitasking control design, all within a single toolchain. It enables you to upload, run, and interact with live controller data in real time, improving your entire embedded development workflow.

Key Benefits:

No manual coding – drag-and-drop control logic design
Offline models simulate microcontroller behavior for early validation
Supports live parameter tuning and signal monitoring
Fast code generation and deployment to target MCUs

Accelerates development of inverters, drives, and converter systems

RT Box – Real-Time HIL Simulator for Power Electronics

RT Box is Plexim’s high-performance real-time simulator, specifically designed for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and rapid control prototyping of power electronic systems. It is available only in India through Pantronics. RT Box lets engineers test control strategies using virtual power circuits before deploying hardware. This approach reduces risk and speeds up development.

RT Box features advanced solver technologies, including the proprietary Nanostep® solver. It allows simulation time steps as low as 4 nanoseconds, which is perfect for high-frequency switching applications like dual active bridges, LLC resonant converters, and 3-phase inverters that operate at up to 1 MHz.

Whether validating embedded controllers or modeling large converter-based systems, RT Box provides fast signal processing, minimal loop latency, and high fidelity. These elements are critical for developing reliable power electronics in electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and microgrids.
