OpenVFD

Open Source VFD Simulator

Simulate motor dynamics and VFD behavior in one focused workspace.

OpenVFD is an open source software platform to simulate both the motor model and variable frequency drive basics, with OPC UA support for control variables and simulation telemetry.

Core Capabilities

Built for practical VFD and motor simulation workflows

OpenVFD helps developers, students, and control engineers model behavior, test control loops, and exchange real-time variables over OPC UA.

SIM-01

Motor Model Control

Simulate load profile, inertia, and response behavior to tune how the virtual motor behaves under changing conditions.

DRV-02

VFD Parameter Tuning

Adjust base VFD parameters such as output frequency, acceleration ramp, and voltage references in a controlled environment.

OPC-03

OPC UA Integration

Expose control variables through OPC UA and stream simulation telemetry to external SCADA and automation systems.

OSS-04

Open Source Workflow

Collaborate with the community, propose improvements, and test industrial control ideas with transparent tooling.
