In this article, hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform solutions have been proposed based on the characteristics and demands in development of electronic control unit in hybrid electric vehicles. And completed the development process of the controller hardware-in-the-loop simulation based on the hybrid electric excavator, focus on achieving the CAN communication between TTC200 controller and dSPACE. Finally, verify the feasibility of using the controller hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform technical solutions in the development process of the hybrid electric excavator on the basis of CAN communication experiments and co-simulation.
