Abstract

This paper presents the new MIRCOS toolbox for graphical programming and real time operation of the standard 16-bit microcontroller 80C166 using Matlab and Simulink. With the toolbox presented, rapid control prototyping is possible on this widely available hardware. The system can also be used for hardware-in-the-loop simulations. The complete controller synthesis, the automatic generation and implementation of the control program on the microcontroller, and the control task itself can be carried out under Matlab´s user interface. Furthermore, the full functionality of Matlab and Simulink can be used in MIRCOS, e.g., for parameter hand-off or visualization without interrupting or impeding the control task running on the 80C166
