Rapid Controller Prototyping at the SUPSI LaboratoryRoberto Bucher
Three practical examples of basic activities connected with control system design
Roberto Bucher
The Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI) is a university of applied sciences which offers students the possibility to get a specialization in mechatronic in the third study year. One of the most important parts of this study is represented by the mechatronic laboratory, where students can put all the tasks connected to the different lectures into practice. Rapid Control Prototyping methods (RCP) play a key rule to achieve these objectives.
Since 2003, the SUPSI has based his control laboratory on Linux RTAI. The RTAI-Lab project allows to directly integrate the code generated from the commercial suite Matlab/Simulink/RTW or from the open source suite Scilab/Scicos/RTAICodeGen into Linux RTAI.
Different blocks and functions which facilitate the plant identification and the control design have been created for both environments.
This paper was honored as the best paper in the category of "Real-Time Linux Application" at the Eighth Real-Time Linux Workshop held at the at the School for Information Science and Engineering, Lanzhou University, in Lanzhou, China.
