DSP based rapid control prototyping systems for engineering education and research

This paper presents custom made, DSP-based rapid control prototyping (RCP) systems that are suitable for control engineering education and research. Presented RCP systems provide an easy transition from the model-based control system design in MATLAB/Simulink to embedded DSP-based target implementation. In addition to rapid binary code generation, Lab VIEW data visualization and parameter tuning solution is presented. The paper also includes an example of cascade DC motor control
