The hardware in the loop simulation has many uses in design, calibration, and performance validation of initial prototypes made from controllers. Using this feature, the reliability and time of commercialization required by the system with an effective cost method can be maintained. Considering the importance and cost of object controller system in the rail transport, the use of hardware in the loop in the development of these controllers at all stages of design and implementation can be a significant useful aid. In this paper, a hardware in the loop test-table has been designed, which it has been used for testing the performance of the objective controller's Lamp board, known as controller and communication display board. In this regard, the simulator's performance evaluated after assurance of its proper functioning by an accuracy test. The design table consists of a host computer, RS232 data transmission, and the Arduino board. The results show that the designed test table can be used to evaluate the accuracy or inaccuracy of all the algorithms used without need cost of testing on the actual system due to a real-time communication. The length of the development of the board reduced greatly by this method.
