Abstract

This paper addresses the development and applications of the control system based on the real-time operating system (RTOS) RTX which constructs an open architecture control system with real-time performance, flexibility and low cost. In this paper, the RTX-based control system is considered from RTOS evaluation, system-level design, to experiments and applications. A novel software structure consisting of Windows, Labview or Matlab, and RTX is presented, which makes the trade-off between real-time tasks running and data processing or displaying. Finally, the control system is successfully applied in two direct-drive high speed and high precision motion platforms.
