Starting point
For a railway propulsion control system, control logic, code generation and diagnostic tools needed to work together as a reliable development environment.

Control systems with a custom RTOS and toolchain
Embedded control, model-based code generation and real-time diagnostics as one integrated engineering task.
- RTOS
- C/C++
- MATLAB/Simulink
- C# / WPF
Technical challenge
Model-based development, generated C code, real-time operation and analysis of actual control data formed an integrated toolchain and runtime environment. Faults at the interfaces needed to be isolated reproducibly.
Responsibility
ProDyne developed the complete RTOS, a MATLAB/Simulink-to-C toolchain, a macro language and compiler, and C libraries for PWM, PLL and filtering. A C#/WPF application provided real-time visualisation and fault analysis.
Implemented functionality
The environment brought model-based control logic, code generation, real-time execution and monitoring of actual control data into a coherent development workflow. Altium Designer complemented the engineering toolset.
Context
The project operated in a SIL2/SIL4 context.
