Executing Simulations in Real Time (Control Design and Simulation Module)

You can use the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module and various real-time (RT) targets to implement simulations and controllers in real time with real-world inputs and outputs. For example, you can combine this software and hardware to design and implement a rapid control prototype (RCP) or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) configuration. You configure the timing Control & Simulation Loop according to the needs of the simulation.

The Control Design and Simulation Module can execute VIs on RT targets running the ETS, VxWorks, or NI Linux Real-Time operating systems.

Note  The Control Design and Simulation Module supports only RT targets with at least 32 MB of RAM.

The Real-Time Module includes the Getting Started with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module manual, which introduces the concepts necessary to create real-time applications. The Real-Time Module documentation also includes topics about organizing and managing projects, creating deterministic applications, and sharing data in deterministic applications.
