Rapid prototyping with Matlab/Simulink-- A case study.
(2002) In MSc ThesesDepartment of Automatic Control
- Abstract
- In order to minimise development time it is important to be able to implement and test control functions at an early stage in a project, even before the electronic hardware of the new product is available. For this purpose, a PC based rapid prototyping system including a graphical modelling/simulation tool and automatic C code generation for real-time simulations with hardware in the loop may be used. In this thesis an evaluation of Matlab/Simulink as a tool for rapid prototyping of control functions in dialysis machines has been done. A comparison has also been done to the tool that is in use today at Gambro Lundia AB, MatrixX/SystemBuild. The sections that have been investigated are block diagram modelling including translation from... (More)

In this thesis an evaluation of Matlab/Simulink as a tool for rapid prototyping of control functions in dialysis machines has been done. A comparison has also been done to the tool that is in use today at Gambro Lundia AB, MatrixX/SystemBuild. The sections that have been investigated are block diagram modelling including translation from SystemBuild block diagram, state machine implementation, Graphical User Interface, data acquisition, simulation with hardware-in-the-loop, and code generation. The Matlab/Simulink tool has been tested on a hydraulic system prototype during the evaluation and advantages and disadvantages have been noted. The report gives an overview of howMatlab/Simulink meets the requirements that can be expected of a rapid prototyping tool, for control functions and design tips to avoid problems during the development phase.
