Fast-track Industrial R&D
Consider QUARC for cost-effective prototyping. That is, for new functions
in different types of industrial processes and devices controlled with
a complex distributed control system. QUARC seamlessly integrates with
Simulink® and presents a powerful Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP)
platform that meets industrial research and development demands.
Software Designed by Control Engineers for Control Engineers
QUARC allows engineers to evaluate and refine different control solutions
in real-time without common delays. Control engineers manage increasingly
more complex tasks. Now, their productivity can be enhanced when they
develop strategies in this familiar modeling environment. Better still,
the model is translated to C-code automatically. Generating countless
iterations of Simulink® control designs becomes almost effortless
and without manual coding.
When combined with a Quanser
Power Amplifiers and a Quanser
Data Acquisition Card, QUARC provides an ideal rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop
development environment. QUARC is adaptable to virtually any mechatronic
interfaces and scalable for complex multi-input and multi-output systems.
For a fraction of the cost of comparable systems, you can convert your
PC into a powerful platform for controls development and deployment.
12 Reasons to Choose QUARC for Rapid Control Prototyping
1. Flexible and extensible communications blocks configurable for real-time
TCP/IP, UDP, serial, shared memory and other protocols
2. Performance Diagnostics
3. RTW Code Optimization support
4. Modularity and incremental builds via model referencing
5. Control of Thread priorities and CPU Affinity
6. Asynchronous execution (e.g., ideal for efficient communication)
7. Simultaneously run any number of models on a single or multiple target(s)
8. Self-booting model for embedded targets
9. External Hardware-In-the-Loop card and communication interfacing provided
in C/C++, MATLAB, LabVIEW, and .NET languages
10. Multiprocessor (SMP) support, e.g., on a quad-core Windows target
QUARC models can take advantage of all four cores.
11. Visualization blockset for 3D visualization of simulation or actual
hardware in real-time
12. Ability to interface with MATLAB GUIs, LabVIEW panels, and Altia |
