Control System Design for Innovative Driving Systems

The control of complex mechatronic systems for ultra-precise accuracy classes requires a close, iterative cooperation among design engineers, simulation experts and control engineers according to the latest scientific knowledge and methods as well as the use of effective tools.

Our offer:

  • theoretical and experimental analyses of innovative drive solutions
  • simulation with state-of-the-art software tools, a.o. FEM-3D-models for ANSYS, DAE-models for MATLAB/Simulink, etc.
  • modelling of mechatronic subsystems and complete systems and verification by means of real measuring data or experimental structures
  • hard- and software design of digital control and regulating systems
  • continuous design flow from the Simulink model to the real time application for rapid prototyping
  • adaptation of the design flow to special prototypes or serial hardware as a service for the reduction of costs and development times at simultaneous high software quality through standardised code generation.

Selected applications:

  • analysis and control system design for the magnetic bearing of a high-revolution gas compressor
  • non-linear control of stepping motors with sensorial position control and error detection algorithms
  • control of complex mechatronic systems e.g. five-axle position system for a production equipment for high-performance optics
  • realisation of a MATLAB-based design flow (Simulink → RTW → DSP-application) for a commercial, efficient multi-axle control hardware
  • continuous design flow and code generation for RTAI-Linux and DSP-board MC8000 of PMDI
