“…The control algorithms are written in C language. Zhong et al [12] show a solution based on MATLAB/Simulink with a data acquisition board allowing the easy usage of Simulink, but it requires a PC to run the algorithms. Vargas-Salgado et al [13] propose an open-source RTCP based on a PC using Linux and Scilab.…”

This paper presents a versatile, low-cost real-time control platform with embedded isolated inputs and outputs for direct usage in electrical applications. The inputs correspond to voltage and current measurements, while the outputs are digital signals with isolated power supply. The validation for the platform considers the implementation of the power electronics topologies where the control algorithms are implemented in Simulink. The topologies are the interleaved three-phase buck converter, push–pull converter, H-bridge, and thyristor-based AC load controller. The control for them involves voltage feedback, current feedback, linear control algorithms, and the implementation of a discrete PLL algorithm for the last topology. Hence, the platform demonstrates the effectiveness of performing real-time control for some power electronics topologies.

From the perspective of teaching and researching, we developed a manipulator digital twin experiment platform (named the remote experience platform, REP) based on a rapid control prototype (RCP). The platform consisted of a controlled target, a real-time controller, rapid prototype configuration software, and supervisory control software. The controlled target was a 6-DOF manipulator, divided into a physical entity and its digital twin. The 3D model and mathematical model of the manipulator were constructed as an experimental entity in a digital space. The whole system provided flexible and intuitive experimental scenes without the restraints of time and place. Based on RCP technology, students can design various complex control strategies using simulation tools such as Matlab/Simulink, then convert the graphical model into executable code to be performed in target hardware. The framework and development methods of the proposed system are elaborated in this paper. An example is demonstrated, including invocation of algorithms, one-click code generation and compilation, real-time verification and online parameter adjustment, and more. The feasibility and practicability of the system are verified through the PID control experiment of the manipulator.

“…On the other hand, sophisticated control platforms are used in research and development to provide Rapid-Control-Prototyping (RCP). RCP enables a more straightforward identification of design errors in the development process, diminishing delays, and improving the overall product quality [4]. For research and development, technology demonstrations can be performed in earlier project stages, without the requirement for complex coding and integration [5].…”

Design and Implementation of a Low-Cost Real-Time Control Platform for Power Electronics Applications

In recent years, different off-the-shelf solutions for the rapid control prototyping of power electronics converters have been commercialised. The main benefits of those systems are based on a fast and easy-to-use environment due to high-level programming. However, most of those systems are very expensive and are closed software and hardware solutions. In this context, this paper presents the design and implementation of a control platform targeting at the segment in between expensive off-the-shelf control platforms and low-cost controllers. The control platform is based on the Launchpad TMS320F28379D from Texas Instruments, and it is equipped with an expansion board that provide analogue-to-digital measurements, switching signals and hardware protections. The performance of the control platform is experimentally tested on a 20 kVA power converter.
