Prototype development and optimization

  • System theory based Model development in time – and frequency domains for the development of control loops in state space
  • Testing, commissioning and identification of system boundaries through the hardware-in-the-loop methodology
  • Vibration and frequency analysis of complex mechatronic systems

A systematic approach and many years of experience with the development tools Matlab / Simulink, dSpace and LabView allow for the quick computer aided development of control algorithms (Rapid-Control-Prototyping). This approach comprises the description and model building of a mechatronic system with the subsequent control system design through to testing the real system.

The processes of instrumentation and control engineering are based on mathematical foundations. These would be required during the design process for the design and parameterization. In many cases, they are also integral components of the mechatronic system – for example as control algorithms. We support customers with our expertise in these areas.
