Role of a Matlab Real-time Hardware Interface within a Systems Modeling Course
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an effort to offer students a more tangible understanding of system modeling concepts, the Quanser/MATLAB hardware interface has been employed at USNA in the laboratory setting of an undergraduate modeling course. Specifically, the SIMULINK-based interface has enabled students to model various physical systems and then compare the system performance predicted by their simulation to the actual response of the physical system. In this paper, an actual case study performed by the midshipmen utilizing the Quanser interface system with a rigid-link, flexible-joint robotic manipulator is presented.

Modular performance analysis and interface based design for embedded real time systems
System level performance analysis methods play an important role in the design process of complex embedded systems. They allow to analyze essential performance characteristics of a system design in an early design phase and consequently support the choice of important design decisions before much time and resources are invested in detailed implementations. While formal analysis based methods fo...
متن کاملReal-time Simulation of Complex Space Systems
This paper presents a framework for the modeling and simulation of the dynamics of complex deformable space systems. It is based on a suite of free software, mostly developed and distributed by the ‘Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale’ of Politecnico di Milano (DIA-PM), that allows the real-time simulation of arbitrarily complex mechanical, mechatronic and aeroservoelastic systems. Real-tim...

A 3 hour hands-on lab experience was designed to give students the opportunity to model, design and test a controller for a nonlinear electro-mechanical robot-arm system as a culminating project in mechanical engineering controls course. Students used linearization to model a nonlinear pendulum DC servo system using first principles. They used experimental frequency response data to derive a nu...
متن کاملFun Control Experiments with Matlab and a Joystick
The paper describes real-time simulation programs that were developed for an undergraduate control systems course. The implementation of three classical experiments (the ball and beam, the inverted pendulum, and the flexible beam) as Matlab m-files is described. The visualization and animation capabilities of Matlab provide a realistic perception of the behavior of the testbeds, without actual ...
