In this paper, the BLDC(Brushless DC) motor control unit(MCU) is evaluated for failure mode by Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation(HILS) on the signal level interface, simultaneously implementing a dynamic model of electric motor in real-time. The MCU generates PWM signals to HIL simulator, which runs dynamic models of inverter and electric motor, and receives the sensor signals calculated from those models in that simulator. We make the failure signal to the MCU IO interface by HIL simulator and evaluate performance of MCU in the failure mode. It is expected that HILS can be used in developing and evaluating the control algorithm for MCU on the electric motor failure mode simulation.
