READY FOR TAKEOFF

In this article, I described a systematic approach to computer-aided design and rapid prototyping of digital feedback controllers. As you’ve seen, it’s possible to quickly develop nonlinear and linear models using Maple and design controllers using MATLAB.

Simulations are implemented using Simulink and real-time controllers are implemented using Realtime Workshop and WinCon. WinCon’s Internet capabilities facilitate the remote control and monitoring capabilities, enabling the user to test designs remotely, from across the room or across the globe.
