Hello, Everyone Myself Parul Goyal from Idea Research, Pune. We are a small team of IIT graduates working on Model Based System Engineering in Multidisciplinary Engineering Domains The purpose of this presentation is to discuss a case study, where we deployed NI-PXI real time hardware in hardware in loop simulation for one of our projects on flight control system
The block diagram shows a simplified and generic closed loop system of an industrial application – it could be an automobile application, mining or construction equipment or an aerospace application
An industry, which is focused on product development could be designing a new product or upgrading an existing one. The product has to go through a ‘product development life cycle’
In the concept evaluation phase, feasibility of a solution is analysed, market analysis is done before taking it to the design and development phase The product development life cycle will include ‘concept evaluation, feasibility studies and market analysis’ etc Once the new product idea is evaluated, project goes to the ‘design and development phase’. One of the main activities of Design & Development phase is ‘Digital Prototyping’
Digital prototyping includes, development of physics based plant model using any of the modeling tool (MATLAB Simulink, Easy5 etc). The plant model could be a low-fidelity or high-fidelity system level plant model. For example – an aircraft model, which includes flight dynamics modeling, aerodynamics modeling, propulsion system model, structures and stability models etc
Or, the model could be a subsystem level model – e.g a complicated hydraulic system of a vehicle. Which includes – several types of control valves, sensors n actuator types, load types (an accumulator), pump system, tank unit etc The digital prototyping could be as complicated as system itself
Another activity of the ‘design n development’ phase is controls development
The phase C of the product development cycle is validation and verification phase, in which we use Model in Loop and Hardware in Loop processes for design and controls optimization
Verification & Validation phase or in short V&V involves verification , which is verifying if we are building the right kind of product. Does it meet the specifications? Validation, which is validating – does the product actually work as per the customer requirement?
Model in Loop simulation (MIL) includes – controller and plant model integration on a simulation platform Designing a control input, close to real system and checking the performance of controller and plant But we can’t rely on the system performance obtained through Model in Loop simulation as its not possible to simulate real time system behavior
HIL testing allows us to cosimulate plant and controller on a real time platform. The figure shows a HLS setup. Control and Simulation tool box. The HLS system includes a Real Time Processor, in this case – NI-PXI, which enables us to quickly and easily deploy controlled models or plant model on real time platform. An Input/Output (I/O) interface allows the plant to communicate to ECU (where controller code is residing) A monitor can be connected to the Ni-PXI real time hardware to display ‘CPU usage’, ‘execution time’ etc
In industries, any system highlevel block diagram can be represented as shown in the figure. Target to design the control system or
