Embedded controllers are increasingly popular in industrial applications since designing flexible control modules over them can rapidly provide a finished product with a low manufacturing cost. Hence, rapid controller prototyping for embedded controller has been presented to resolve obstacles to developing controllers quickly. However, most proposed methods are prohibitively expensive and are restricted in the choice of software and hardware, thus, making them infeasible for engineering applications with the considerations of performance and cost. To solve the aforementioned problems, this study adopts MATLAB/Simulink with Real-Time Workshop as an effective means of producing a rapid controller development platform (RCDP), in which the controller model is built by the graphical drive modules, and is verified in Simulink, and the executable code correspondent to the controller model is then automaticallygenerated and transferred to the target system for testing and verification. Experimental results indicate that the automatic generatedcode for third order controller with 1 ms sampling rate and actual position tracking in the X-Y table motion control can typically achieve the desired performance. Thus the proposed RCDP can effectively and practically save the development time of controller designs, particularly in the experimental course related to control theory in the education.

This paper presents guidelines to develop the Maximum Power Point Tracking controller, as developed in the automotive and aeronautical applications, this by following the V-cycle development process, which means that our controller will be validated by using Model In the Loop/ Software In the Loop/Processor In the Loop tests. In order to have the possibility of integrating the MPPT embedded software in automotive and aeronautical areas, and on the other hand to propose a low-cost option to test the hardware implementation of the MPPT algorithm. Therefore, a modified variable step Incremental Conductance algorithm is proposed in this study, which can reduce the steady-state oscillations and increase the tracking speed under sudden irradiance variation. Then, the Model-based design of the modified algorithm is developed and connected to the plant model (photovoltaic panel and Boost converter). Next, the system model is tested and validated by using Model In the Loop process. After that, the software of this algorithm is automaticallygenerated for the host computer using embedded coder tool, and this software is connected to the plant model and tested using Software in the Loop process in the host computer. Finally, the software is generated from the MPPT model for the STM32F4 discovery board in order to create the Processor In the Loop block, which will be run in the STM32F4 discovery board, and the plant model will be simulated in the host computer, and the ST-LINK communication is used in order to connect the host computer and the embedded board.
