Abstract

The simulation and experiment platforms are very important to the research of NCS(Networked Control System). A novel Simulink-based platform for simulations and experiments of Networked Control System is presented in this paper. Using cloud-side cross-compilation techniques, the installation becomes portable meanwhile the details of developed S-function are invisible to users. To support the NCS experiments, multiple cloud nodes are used to transmit the communication package to verify the proposed control systems in a real networked environment. A multiple-process-based time synchronization method is presented to synchronize the clocks in the NCS experiments. The proposed time synchronization is accurate and stable to implement the desired simulations and experiments. As application examples, a simulation and an experiment of the differentially driven wheeled-mobile-robot remote path tracking control are achieved on the proposed platform.
