Abstract

The paper presents a Matlab toolbox for simulation of real-time control systems. The basic idea is to simulate a real-time kernel in parallel with continuous plant dynamics. The toolbox allows the user to explore the timely behavior of control algorithms, and to study the interaction between the control tasks and the scheduler. From a research perspective, it also becomes possible to experiment with more flexible approaches to real-time control systems, such as feedback scheduling. The importance of a more unified approach for the design of real-time control systems is discussed. The implementation is described in some detail and a number of examples are given.
