Design of RCP(rapid control prototyping) system that possesses two features

Sections 1 and 2 of the full paper explain our design. The titles of subsections 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 are respectively Windows-embedded RTX real-time system, Simulink/RTW modeling tool, rapid prototyping architecture, work flow of the RCP system, work mode of the RCP system and design of the basic function of the RCP system. The RCP system can rapidly convert the Simulink model into the RTX real time model and realize: the automatic compilation and downloading of the Simulink model, the on-line modification of simulation parameters, the real time storage of simulation data, automatic distribution simulation, configuration file administration. Section 3 presents a simulation example; the simulation results, given in Fig. 8 and Table 1, show preliminarily that the RCP system designed by us is not only reliable but also gives good precision. More importantly, section 4 points out that these simulation results show preliminarily that our designed RCP system does possess two features: (1) our RCP system realizes the seamless link among the Simulink model, the Windows-embedded RTX real-time system and the Windows operating system; (2) our RCP system realizes the real time simulation control of a prototype when it is working in stand-alone simulation mode or in distributed simulation mode.
