Labview Control Design And Simulation Module 2018 2021 <Linux>

  • Linear analysis and design

  • Controller design

  • Simulation

  • Analysis & validation

  • Integration & deployment

    • The Control Design module does not exist in a vacuum. It relies on NI drivers (NI-DAQmx, NI-RIO, etc.).

    Scenario: An automotive supplier uses a cRIO-9045 (2019 era) to validate a PMSM field-oriented control (FOC). The plant model (motor + inverter) runs on the LabVIEW Control & Simulation Module as an RT simulation, outputting simulated phase currents. The actual FOC controller (target hardware) reads these currents and returns PWM duty cycles.

    Implementation:

    Both versions share a common layered architecture: labview control design and simulation module 2018 2021

    Difference in architecture:

    Scenario: A lab instrument needs a nanopositioning stage with 50 kHz control loop. Software RT is too slow.

    Solution using LabVIEW 2019:

    Key Focus: Real-Time Simulation Deployment Linear analysis and design

    The 2018 release fixed a long-standing frustration: the inability to run simulation models deterministically on RT targets (e.g., CompactRIO, PXI). Earlier versions allowed simulation only on Windows. With version 18.0, NI introduced the Real-Time Simulation Loop (RTSL). This allowed engineers to:

    Additionally, the 2018 version integrated better with VeriStand—NI’s HIL testing software—allowing users to export LabVIEW-designed control models as compiled DLLs for use in large test benches.
