High Fidelity Simulation of Event Driven Controllers for Rotating Machinery

The use of the SystemBuild™ environment for modeling a continuous engine coupled with an event based controller is presented in this paper. The example makes use of a recently developed interface between the SystemBuild simulator and pSOSim™, a simulator for embedded tasks based on the pSOS+™ real-time operating system. This integration allows high fidelity simulation of asynchronous and periodic controller tasks running on a real-time embedded kernel in an automotive environment.
