DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF RAPID CONTROL PROTOTYPING SYSTEM WITH MATLAB/SIMULINK

This paper presents the development and implementation of a Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) System. Key features of RCP are working with simulink block sets, automation of code generation and automatic downloading of executable code to the target DSP. In such manner, control algorithms can be rapidly integrated or adapted in no time. Simulink integrated with DSP TMS320F28335 provides a useful development tool for design verification of control algorithms, suitable for different plants. Through the use of RTW (Real Time Workshop) functionality, different modules on custom made DSP board are developed, which are needed to create an environment that is suitable for processing execution. Software has been developed with the use of Simulink block sets. Some of them have been provided from TIC2000 library. More complex blocks have been developed with the use of S-functions and TLC, target language compiler. Design and realization of regulation algorithms for stabilization of rotary inverted pendulum are presented.
