RT-LAB DriveLab

RT-LAB DriveLab is a fully integrated electric drive system ideal for teaching, lab experiments and research in the field of electric machine drive.

In addition to 4 types of motors and their power electronics drive, it comes with control models made for Simulink and including I/Os; these models are compatible with and are easily implemented on RT-LAB real-time PC-based system, for rapidly controlling the motors.

The system has been specially designed to be simple and robust for use in educational laboratories but is sufficiently open to allow professor or students to expand the system to their requirements, and to develop new control strategies and test them on this drive lab platform.

This teaching and research tool kit includes:

  • Choice of 4 motors:Permanent magnet DC generator,Permanent magnet DC motor, 3-phase permanent magnet brushless motor, 3-phase induction motor
  • Drive Board: 2 x 6-pulse inverter
  • Break-out box
  • RT-LAB software license and QNX Neutrino license
  • FPGA-based signal I/Os: Analog inputs, analog outputs, digital inputs, digital outputs
  • Labview graphical user interface - RT-LAB Labview API
