Model-Based Design of Control Systems

Learn to use Model-Based Design in MATLAB & Simulink to develop an embedded control system, including implementation and testing on hardware.

Terry and Sam design, simulate, and test a complex system that incorporates multiple domains, including mechanical, electrical and hydraulic. With Model-Based Design in MATLAB & Simulink, they connect these domains which are typically isolated across different software platforms and thus not simulated in a common framework.

This video demonstrates how to:

• Employ Model-Based Design to represent mechanical, electrical and control software components
• Optimize control system designs in Simulink
• Simulate the controller and the plant together
• Perform HIL testing to validate top-level requirements

About the Presenters: Terry Denery is an expert in Model-Based Design and Sam Mirsky’s forte is working with the hardware. These two skill sets complement each other perfectly. Using MATLAB & Simulink, Sam rapidly prototypes Terry’s best design to prove whether it will really work. This could not be done without good modeling and rapid conversion of these models into real hardware systems.
