Rapid HW/SW prototyping

Course guarantor:

Martin Novák

Lecturer:

Martin Novák

Tutor:

Martin Novák, Zdeněk Novák

Supervisor:

Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering

Synopsis:

The goal is to make the students familiar with rapid prototyping of control systems and algorithms using automated tools. The classes will be based on mathematical models of real systems. The students will be already familiar with them from previous subjects such as Mathemetical and Computer Models, Theory of Automatic Control etc. Tools such as Matlab Embedded Coder, Simulink Real-time, Simulink Coder eventualy LabView Matlab/Simulink toolkit will be used. It will be shown how to implement the control algorithm into a real hardware and test its functions. Also automated code conversion into C and eventual code modifications will be shown. The control algorithm will be verified either on a real system, on its mathematical model or as hardware in the loop (HIL). Real world examples such as motor control will be shown. Rapid prototyping tools are currently gaining on popularity in the industrial world in areas such as automotive or aerospace.
