The QUARC library (found in the Simulink Library Browser under ) provides several specialized blocksets:
: Enables online parameter tuning and real-time data monitoring directly within the Simulink interface while the model is executing on the target hardware.
Under the tab, set the type to Fixed-step and select a discrete solver (like discrete (no continuous states) ).
Choose an appropriate fundamental step size (e.g., 0.001 seconds for a 1 kHz sample rate). Step 5: Build and Run
Create your control algorithm using standard Simulink blocks and QUARC HIL blocks for input/output.
Directly capture frames from USB webcams, FireWire cameras, or specialized vision sensors.
For advanced robotics and human-machine interaction (HMI), QUARC includes blocks to capture environment and user data.
The most critical block in any QUARC model. It configures your specific hardware board (e.g., Quanser Q8-USB, Q3 ControlpaQ) and sets initial, final, and safety watchdog voltages.
QUARC shines in because you can run real-time control on a standard Windows laptop (using Real-Time Kernel) without requiring a second dedicated target computer.
Let’s walk through a typical workflow of using QUARC Library for Simulink.
: This set enables models to talk to each other or external devices using protocols like TCP/IP, UDP, Serial, or Shared Memory. It uses Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs)
Ensure QUARC is installed and integrated with MATLAB/Simulink.
