Abstract :
The paper reviews three Matlab Simulink based software packages which are suitable for the design of real-time computer control experiments. The operating environment, operation procedure and limitations of the software namely, WinCon 2.0, Real Time Toolbox 3.0 and xPC Target 1.0 are discussed. Application of the software is demonstrated through the real-time implementation of PID, LQR and fuzzy logic controllers. Sample implementations and some experimental results obtained from the real-time control of a moving cart, single link inverted pendulum, self-erecting inverted pendulum, double-link inverted pendulum and pole balancing mobile robot are presented
