Real-Time Testing of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Controller with xPC Target Turnkey
14:30–16:15
Model-Based Design has helped engineers improve product quality and reduce development time by moving design tasks from the field and lab to the desktop. With the help of simulation models developed using Simulink, design defects can be identified and rectified at an early stage of development. Moving to a real-time environment, for example in a lab or a prototype, Simulink models of a plant and controller that were used in the desktop simulation can be reused for real-time testing in rapid prototyping or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test setups. Using a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) speed control example, MathWorks engineers will demonstrate the various steps—including preparing the model for code generation, configuring I/Os, tuning parameters, logging data, and choosing the right target hardware—that are involved in moving from the desktop simulation to the real-time testing environment using xPC Target™ Turnkey.
