Specifically designed to address the needs of dynamics and control education,RT-LAB Solo uses RT-LAB as its core engine. RT-LAB is a real-time, distributed simulation platform for MATLAB/Simulink, used for the design and control of complex industrial systems and products.
Key Features
- Simple graphical user interface for rapid hard real-time execution of Simulink models, online data visualization and interaction with the model.
- Dynamic signal selection for instantly monitoring any block output within the model.
- The only real-time environment for PCs that can implement high-speed logging to disk on a target node.
- Fully integrated with Simulink and Real-Time Workshop
- Handles all timing and scheduling issues automatically, including multithreaded, multirate execution.
- Supports over 80 I/O boards, optimized for maximum throughput.
Using RT-LAB Solo
The RT-LAB Solo is composed of a single component, using standard, PCs:
Host station, or command station:
This is the station used in model-development and online interaction with the system. It is composed of a standard off-the-shelf PC running Windows XP and required software (see below). The host station is linked to the real-time stations through a TCP/IP network, allowing for online system monitoring and remote access through LAN or WAN.
Target station:
The target station performs all the required real-time operations (computations, scheduling, I/O access, etc.). The target station runs QNX, the most advanced, robust engineering Real-Time operating system in the world. Implementing real-time systems in RT-LAB Solo: All intermediary operations have been automated so that a student or research engineer can build the system and stay focused at the engineering application- level.
Creating Models:
Models are created within the Simulink graphical programming environment. The user constructs his models using blocks from the standard Simulink library, just like a regular Simulink model. Computational blocks are then separated from user-interface blocks (scopes, manual switches, etc.) graphically. This allows for calculations to be performed in the real-time environment, while blocks used in interacting with the system stay on the host station. Special communication blocks between the components belonging to the real-time part of the system and user-interface.
Implementation within a "Hard" Real-Time environment:
Model implementation within the real-time environment is performed automatically; all steps between model creation and real-time model loading execution are achieved transparent to the user. The click of a single button automatically converts a Simulink into a real-time model able to precisely interact with physical equipment.
Loading and executing a model:
The compiled model can be loaded within the real-time environment and executed. Interaction with the real-time system can be achieved at many levels. RT-LAB Solo comes equipped with data acquisition and monitoring tools giving online access to any signal for visualization or local, hard-drive based real-time data logging. User interaction blocks from the Simulink library can also be used in conjunction with the real-time system. The user can also design his/her own GUI panels for 2-D or 3-D model visualization and interaction.
Using I/O modules:
The inclusion of I/O modules in the model is done using Simulink-compatible blocks from the extensive RT-LAB I/O drivers' library. The user routes appropriate signals from the model to the I/O blocks. Once the model runs in the real-time environment, signals are directly sent to the Output channels, or read from the Input channels.
