Embedded System Development
The MATLAB® and Simulink® products provide a complete environment for developing control strategies that optimize the performance of industrial machines and systems. Engineers can represent the complete control system in a Simulink model that includes a behavioral description of the equipment and closed- and open-loop control algorithms. They can then use simulation to understand complex feedback loop interactions and organize a logical supervisory control structure.
Control System Development
Embedded control systems for high-performance servo drives, power regulators, and other equipment have become increasingly complex, often combining supervisory and closed-loop control strategies and digital signal processing. With MathWorks products you can develop complex conditional logic and feedback control algorithms and implement sophisticated signal processing algorithms. Stateflow® software helps you implement supervisory and mode control to ensure that machinery starts smoothly, operates efficiently, and shuts down safely during upset or emergency conditions. MathWorks control design software includes classical feedback design tools and intelligent analysis methods, such as fuzzy logic.
Signal and Video/Image Processing Functionality
Using Simulink software, designers of embedded systems can integrate data filtering, signal processing, communications, or video and image processing capabilities into their designs.
Software Testing and Implementation
The Real-Time Workshop® product lets you automatically generate ANSI C code from a Simulink model. You can use the C code for control system prototype testing and production deployment to a prototyping system, such as the xPC Target™ product; to an embedded microcontroller; or on DSP hardware. The generated code works on any embedded processor. The MathWorks offers target-specific support for popular implementation platforms, such as the TI C2000™ DSP product. You can also incorporate your own legacy and specialized C code.

The Real-Time Workshop® Embedded Coder™ product generates efficient fixed-point code for an embedded filter design. |
System Validation
International standards, such as ISO 9001 and IEC 61508, establish requirements for validating system designs. With Simulink® Verification and Validation™ software you can tie written requirements to Simulink and Stateflow models and to code generated from those models. You can also develop tests to verify that model performance matches design requirements.
