Introduction to Model-Based System Design (Undergraduate course)

Website for an undergraduate course on design and implementation of control systems, taught at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology by Dr. Marc Herniter. The class uses xPC Target with Speedgoat hardware to teach Model-Based Design and concepts such as hardware-in-the-loop simulation.

The course material includes slides for all the lectures and lab guides.Lecture topics include:

* What is Model-Based System Design
* Introduction to Simulink
* Controller Design and Testing
* Data collection, xPC Target, Speedgoat RT-Target
* Plant Model Transfer Function
* Model Improvement, Coast Down, Clutch Friction
* Signal Filtering
* Time Delays, Proportional and Integral Control
* xPC Target Real-Time Systems
* Sampling and Discrete Time Effects
* Freescale MPC5553/MPC5554 Target
* Number Systems, Binary, Hex, Floating Point
* Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulations
  - With a Speedgoat and xPC Target
  - With a NI PXI Target.
* MPC555x - Motor Controller Deployment
* Model-Based Calibration, Design of Experiments
* Verification and Validation, System Test

A recorded webinar by Dr. Marc Herniter on the design of the course is available here:
