Study and Teach Basic Mechatronic Design Concepts

Mechatronic systems are made of mechanical, electronic, and software components producing a complete and functional entity and are found across a broad range of engineering disciplines and applications. The mechanical component is your system under test connected via sensors and actuators, the electrical or electronic component, to the Education real-time target machine running the automatically generated software components from your graphical Simulink models.

The high-resolution and high-speed analog inputs make the connection between your hardware under test and the real-time software application to allow reading in values from position or speed sensors, pressure or force sensors, or any other sensor providing an analog output. The analog outputs can be used the other way around for feeding any type of analog actuator like a linear amplifier accepting analog inputs. The additionally available parallel digital I/O channels allow reading in discrete values like from switches, over-current detection devices and also output discrete values for example to relays or any other on/off devices.

While the Education real-time target machine with its analog and digital I/O module has been optimized to study and teach mechatronic systems it is also ideally suited for any other type of application like power electronics, signal processing, and so forth where these type of I/O signals are used to link together the hardware under test with the software component. For all these uses cases the Education real-time target machine comes with tools and drivers software for xPC Target supporting every aspect of the analog and digital I/O module with a comprehensive xPC Target driver blockset for the integration into your Simulink models.
