Framework for transputer-based control architectures

In this paper we deal with the last control development technique implemented at the PERCRO. We show an integrated tool for designing, developing and realizing the electro- mechanical systems control. With more details we consider an hardware/software architecture which give us the capability of controlling external systems with analog inputs outputs (I/Os) and inputs for encoder/resolver signals. This tool shows like an integrated framework. It is interfaced with the Mat- Lab/Simulink tool which allows the users to control all the development process from the unique top-level interface. This tool introduces a powerful feature to the control development process: it is now possible to control the whole control design process from just one system. The capability for this tool of on-line interfacing control programs to Simulink, allows the user to directly check system and controller behaviors reducing in such a way the time needed for control adaptation.
