TrueTime: simulation of networked computer control systems

Abstract
Computer-based control systems and networked control systems are hybrid systems where continuous time-driven dynamics and discrete event-driven dynamics interact. The temporal non-determinism introduced by computing and communication in the form of delays and jitter can lead to significant performance degradation. TrueTime is a MATLAB/Simulink-based simulation tool that takes a completely different approach. Using TrueTime it is possible to simulate the temporal aspects of multi-tasking real-time kernels and wired or wireless networks within Simulink together with the continuous-time dynamics of the controlled plant. TrueTime consists of a block library with a computer kernel block and wired and wireless network blocks. The blocks are... (More)
Computer-based control systems and networked control systems are hybrid systems where continuous time-driven dynamics and discrete event-driven dynamics interact. The temporal non-determinism introduced by computing and communication in the form of delays and jitter can lead to significant performance degradation. TrueTime is a MATLAB/Simulink-based simulation tool that takes a completely different approach. Using TrueTime it is possible to simulate the temporal aspects of multi-tasking real-time kernels and wired or wireless networks within Simulink together with the continuous-time dynamics of the controlled plant. TrueTime consists of a block library with a computer kernel block and wired and wireless network blocks. The blocks are variable-step, discrete, MATLAB S-functions written in C++. The kernel block executes user-defined tasks and interrupts handlers. The network blocks distribute messages between computer nodes according to a chosen network model. The blocks are connected with ordinary continuous-time Simulink blocks to form a real-time control system (Less)
