10 Use Cases Implementing a Model with Real-Time Interface (RTI) 3. Graphical I/O Configuration After you finish testing your model in Simulink, you need to prepare it for implementation on the real-time hardware. The plant model is replaced by I/O blocks that form the interfaces to the real controlled system. To add an I/O model, simply drag a block from the RTI I/O library to the model and connect the block with the I/O of the controller. Design of the controller and the model of the controlled system within a MATLAB /Simulink development environment. 1. Model Design with Simulink In this example, a block diagram shows the closed control loop of the positioning system for a hard disk drive. 2. Simulation in Simulink A signal generator block produces the reference signal, while scopes display the signals u_m and u_x. 4. Parameter Specification I/O parameters are specified by doubleclicking an I/O block and entering the data in graphical user interfaces. In this example, the input signals are the feedback value and the reference signal. The reference signal now comes from an external signal generator and is read in by an ADC block. The output signal from the controller is the control signal u_m, which is output by the hardware via a DAC block. The plant model in Simulink is replaced by I/O components. I/O parameters can be specified by double-clicking an I/O block and entering data in graphical user interfaces. 10 Use Cases

11 5. Implementation on dspace Hardware Automatic implementation of the Simulink model on dspace hardware is the key to rapid design iterations. With RTI you do not see a single line of code during this process. A single click on the Build button starts the implementation, which includes code generation, compiling, and down loading. You can select an integration algorithm and a step size in the Solver page of the Simulation Parameters dialog. Build procedures can also be automated with the help of scripts. This is especially helpful for large models. 6. Interaction with Experiment Software When your application is running on the real-time hardware, the entire dspace experiment software is at your disposal. RTI ensures that you have control over each individual variable immediately after the implementation process. ControlDesk provides a virtual instrument panel that enables you to change parameters and monitor signals without regenerating the code. ControlDesk also displays the time histories of any variable used by your application. Use Cases 11

12 Induction Motor Control In this case, an induction motor controller is developed with the DS1104. One of the board s incremental encoder interfaces picks up the encoder signal of the motor, while two A/D converters are required to analyze the motor currents. The controller board calculates the control algorithm on the basis of the measured values and determines the corresponding pulse width modulation (PWM). The three-phase PWM signals are generated on the board s DSP subsystem and determine the converter s output voltage and frequency. DS1104 R&D Controller Board 6 PWM Signals Encoder Signal ib ia AC Frequency Converter Ua Ub Uc 3 Controller Optimization with MLIB/MTRACE In this example, a MATLAB M file optimizes the step response of a closed-loop system by modifying the controller s proportional gain K P. The ITAE criterion (integral timeweighted absolute error) is used as a cost function. This criterion compares the control signal with the reference signal and computes a new proportional gain so that the difference between the control and the reference signal is minimized. The M file performs several loops to find the optimum K P. Various functions are called in each loop. The MLIB/MTRACE functions capture the control and reference signals and load this data to the MATLAB workspace. MATLAB then computes the ITAE value and the new optimized K P and plots the result. Finally, MLIB/MTRACE writes the new K P back to the processor memory. 12 Use Cases

13 Robotics In this example, the controller board replaces the position controller. The easy programmability of the DS1103 enables you to implement and test different control algorithms very quickly, which reduces design iteration times to a minimum. The prototyping hardware allows easy para meter changing and modification. No hardware setup changes are necessary. The real-time system picks up the robot s six incremental encoder signals to determine the current robot position. This data is then compared with the reference values. Afterwards, the DS1103 calculates the control algorithm and sends the controller output like data on positions and velocities back to the robot. Bypass-Based Prototyping In bypass-based prototyping, existing ECUs are optimized or partially revised to obtain a new control strategy. In this example, an auto motive ECU is connected to MicroAuto- Box via the ECU interface. The original ECU executes all the functions that will remain unchanged, while the new algorithms are calculated in MicroAutoBox. The results are then transmitted back to the original ECU. If your existing ECU has all the features necessary for I/O, you will need only the ECU interface of MicroAutoBox, and all the I/O runs via the ECU. However, if you want to integrate new or additional I/O devices, you can use the MicroAutoBox I/O devices. Additional I/O Existing ECU I/O Use Cases 13

14 Software SystemDesk SystemDesk is a system architecture software tool for planning, implementing and integrating complex system architectures and distributed software systems.

18 TargetLink TargetLink is a program that generates production code (C code) from the MATLAB /Simulink /Stateflow graphical development environment. Code generation options range from optimized standard ANSI C code to highly optimized fixed- or floating-point code for specific processors. Versatile code configuration options ensure that the production code copes with processor constraints. Converting graphical models directly into production code ensures perfect consistency between the model and the code at all times. Since the Production code generation from MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow ANSI C code with the efficiency of handwritten code Optimizations for selected processors Built-in simulation and testing support AUTOSAR support same model will always result in the same proven code, TargetLink s code generation is deterministic and guarantees the highest software quality. Each and every step can be tested against the specification via the built-in simulation features. This means a direct reduction of costs: The break-even point is reached earlier, and there are fewer software error-related expenses.

21 Automotive Simulation Models The Automotive Simulation Models (ASM) are open Simulink models for the realtime simulation of standard automotive applications like diesel engines, gasoline engines and vehicle dynamics. The models are typically used on a dspace Simulator for hardware-in-the-loop testing of electronic control units (ECUs) or for early validation by offline simulation during the design phase of controller algorithms. They are complete, independent models that support all the relevant phases of the modelbased development process. Open Simulink models Real-time simulation and offline simulation Virtual vehicle simulations with engine, drivetrain, and vehicle dynamics Turn-key solution with dspace Simulator All of the Simulink blocks in the model are visible, so it is easy to add or replace components with custom models to adapt the vehicle s properties perfectly to individual projects.
