Modelling of Distributed Real-Time Control Systems An Approach for Design and Early Analysis
Ola Redell · 1998
Title Language Keywords Document type Date The implementation of control applications in distributed computer architectures is a multi disciplinary design problem that is not fully supported by any design method or CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) environment. This thesis presents a modelling framework that is being developed for modelling of both hardware and software in distributed realtime computer implementations of control systems. The aim is to supply models to be used in the AIDA decentralisation tool-set which will support design and early analysis of control implementations. The models describe the application control design; the computer hardware and software; and parts of the mechanical structure. This multi disciplinary approach distinguishes this work from most other related research. The intent is to use the models together with some existing CACE tool (Computer Aided Control Engineering, e.g. Matlab/Simulink) in which control designs are described, simulate...
