| Abstract | To exploit the full potential of fourth generation Synchrotron Sources, new beamline instrumentation is increasingly developed with a mechatronics approach. [*,**,***] Implementing this approach raises the need for Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) and Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) simulations. To integrate such RCP and HIL systems into every-day beamline operation we developed an interface from a Speedgoat real-time performance machine - programmable via MATLAB Simulink - to EPICS. The interface was developed to be simple to use and still flexible. The Simulink software developer uses dedicated Simulink-blocks to export model information and real-time data into structured UDP Ethernet frames. The corresponding EPICS IOC listens to the UDP frames and auto-generates a corresponding database file to fit the data-stream from the Simulink model. The EPICS IOC can run on either a beamline measurement PC or to keep things spatially close on a mini PC (such as a Raspberry Pi) attached to the Speedgoat machine. An overview of the interface idea, architecture and implementation, together with some simple examples will be presented. | |
