The Efficient Way to Work
Many
industries are under pressure to reduce their development times
when
they produce unique and innovative products. Working
efficiently is
indispensable to success in a globalized market,
especially for
high-tech industries such as automotives, aerospace
and communications,
where electronic controls are a vital part of
each new product.
Model-based control design is the time-saving,
cost-effective approach,
because control engineers work with just a
single model of a function
or
complete system in an integrated
software environment. This
model-based
development process results
in an optimized, validated
system, and
there is no risk that
individual components do not fit
together
optimally. These are just
some of the reasons why dSPACE
systems support
model-based design
strategies. To model controller
strategies and the
internal behavior
of software components, tools such
as
MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow
from MathWorks® and
TargetLink
from
dSPACE are used. For
verification in the real
environment, the
controller models can be
integrated into dSPACE
prototyping systems.
TargetLink is then used
to create production code
straight from these
models. TargetLink is
also ideal for designing
software components that
will be used in
SystemDesk®,
dSPACE’s tool for software
architecture
development and verification.
In SystemDesk, several
software
components can be combined to form a
software architecture that
can
be used as a part of an overall system
model.
NEW: ConfigurationDesk® from dSPACE can be used to implement the behavior model and the I/O function code on dSPACE SCALEXIO® hardware for hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
