Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a configurable simulator comprising at least one configuration component and a plurality of configurable modular cards. The configuration component determines configuration parameters of the cards and exchanges configuration messages with the cards. Each card comprises a configurable input/output unit comprising a plurality of configurable inputs and outputs, and a power supply comprising a plurality of configurable power supply circuits. The input/output unit exchanges configuration messages with the simulation controller. Each card further comprises a processor for configuring the plurality of inputs and outputs of the configurable input/output unit, and the plurality of power circuits of the power supply. The processor also executes a simulation code to implement a functionality of the simulator. The present disclosure also relates to a method for operating a configurable simulator comprising a plurality of configurable modular cards.
