Rapid control prototyping (RCP) - as part of a Model-Based Design workflow - can accelerate the development of power electronics equipment and electric motor drives by providing a powerful and scalable testing environment with turnkey I/O connectivity. Reduce testing risks with a responsive testing platform that simplifies the transition from desktop simulation to hardware testing by providing features like automatic code generation, control autotuning, and automated testing. Configure the hardware interfaces of your control designs, measure, tune, and manage automated testing: all from within Simulink®. Speedgoat real-time systems provide turnkey interfaces for high-frequency switching and a wide range of sensors and communication protocols. Typical applications include control of modular motor drives, multi-level converters (MMC), DC-DC converters, high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems, and electric vehicle (EV) powertrains.
Design and test advanced, adaptive, robust, or model-predictive controllers with a few clicks and leverage sub microsecond sample-times and switching frequencies in the MHz range. Include Bayesian, Kalman, among other estimation techniques, and test reinforcement learning control algorithms. Quickly interface your algorithms with PWM generators, or space vector modulation (SVM), quadrature encoders, resolvers, SPI, CAN bus, among many other I/O interfaces. Furthermore, use Speedgoat hardware to perform automated tuning for PID loops and field-oriented control (FOC) with your hardware prototype, just like in desktop simulation.

"Simulink®, Simulink® Real-Time™, and Speedgoat target hardware have enabled us to demonstrate the application-specific reliability of our early designs without installing the units on an actual aircraft.”
