Remote wireless low cost RT process control using Windows PLC by MATLAB/Simulink throw the REX control system

Abstract

Paper shows direct connection and implementation way of designed control schemas of prepared applications to an industrial WinPLC. Paper deals with industrial realization of feedback control of demanding applications on their control, control algorithms and visualization together with design, implementation and real time control from MATLAB/Simulink Environment. Described is a way to produce a permanent solution in control applications that are fully prepared, designed and implemented directly from MATLAB/Simulink to the target control platform. As a part, the mentioned solution is using a multiplatform control system REX as a bridge between MATLAB and target platforms. These methods allow minimizing costs of development of control of applications, because it produces target permanent realizations in comparison to classical development methods that usually need expensive real time measurement cards and produce only one purpose development solution. As next benefit the application is created for visualization the data from RT database during the measurement and control process. This last benefit produce an interesting data from real control process to give a next reason to use of WinCon solution.

Development of an OPC and PLC Based Remote-Access Laboratory: A Synchronous Motor Control Experiment

“…In addition, the OPC provides at the least cost development and deployment in the development of existing industrial systems or the establishment of new systems due to universal structure and support of technological developments [17]. Thanks to, ability of use the visual platforms functions such as Matlab, Labview, Profilab and also programming languages functions Visual Basic, Visual C #, Java, Delphi work integrated these programs [18][19][20][21][22]. A programming language need code writing for programming.…”

“…Therefore, computer software engineers are generally use visual programming languages. Microcontroller, FPGA, DAQ and PLC can be used in the remote-controlled systems as microprocessor in the literature [22]. Microcontroller-controlled systems are affected by adverse environmental conditions such as electromagnetic pollution, ambient noise.…”
