Original Kurzfassung:
A commonly used hardware in{the{loop environment is the dSPACE1 system, whose strength is aimed
at high °exibility and processing speed, but involves rather costly hardware and software licence fees. In
our proposed paper we elaborate a scaleable hardware platform running a low{cost RTLinux open source
system of comparable processing speed.
There is a great variety of applications that need such rapid control prototyping systems. Especially
developers of electromechanical plants are using rapid control prototyping systems to tune less known
system parameters and controller settings. These needs are well covered by the software environment
MATLAB/Simulink and the "Simulink Target for Real{Time Linux" (STRTL toolbox). STRTL was
developed within the Ph.D. thesis of R. M. Garcia [1] on which our system is based upon. Unfortunately
STRTL is no longer actively supported and provides only certain drivers for a limited set of hardware in
its initial design.
In our work we extended the driver concept of STRTL to the well known driver interface standard
comedi2. This enables the STRTL to use all the hardware supported by comedi.
In this proposed paper we show the applicability of our package to control an electric drive used in a
student lab course aimed at familiarising the students with controller systems.
