162	Investigation of Nonlinear Control Strategies Using GPS Simulator And Spacecraft Attitude Control Simulator Kowalchuk, Scott Allen 17 December 2007 (has links) In this dissertation, we discuss the Distributed Spacecraft Attitude Control System Simulator (DSACSS) testbed developed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for the purpose of investigating various control techniques for single and multiple spacecraft. DSACSS is comprised of two independent hardware-in-the-loop simulators and one software spacecraft simulator. The two hardware-in-the-loop spacecraft simulators have similar subsystems as flight-ready spacecraft (e.g. command and data handling; communications; attitude determination and control; power; payload; and guidance and navigation). The DSACSS framework is a flexible testbed for investigating a variety of spacecraft control techniques, especially control scenarios involving coupled attitude and orbital motion. The attitude hardware simulators along with numerical simulations assist in the development and evaluation of Lyapunov based asymptotically stable, nonlinear attitude controllers with three reaction wheels as the control device. The angular rate controller successfully tracks a time varying attitude trajectory. The Modified Rodrigues Parmater (MRP) attitude controller results in successfully tracking the angular rates and MRP attitude vector for a time-varying attitude trajectory. The attitude controllers successfully track the reference attitude in real-time with hardware similar to flight-ready spacecraft. Numerical simulations and the attitude hardware simulators assist in the development and evaluation of a robust, asymptotically stable, nonlinear attitude controller with three reaction wheels as the actuator for attitude control. The MRPs are chosen to represent the attitude in the development of the controller. The robust spacecraft attitude controller successfully tracks a time-varying reference attitude trajectory while bounding system uncertainties. The results of a Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware-in-the-loop simulation of two spacecraft flying in formation are presented. The simulations involve a chief spacecraft in a low Earth orbit (LEO), while a deputy spacecraft maintains an orbit position relative to the chief spacecraft. In order to maintain the formation an orbit correction maneuver (OCM) for the deputy spacecraft is required. The control of the OCM is accomplished using a classical orbital element (COE) feedback controller and simulating continual impulsive thrusting for the deputy spacecraft. The COE controller requires the relative position of the six orbital elements. The deputy communicates with the chief spacecraft to obtain the current orbit position of the chief spacecraft, which is determined by a numerical orbit propagator. The position of the deputy spacecraft is determined from a GPS receiver that is connected to a GPS hardware-in-the-loop simulator. The GPS simulator creates a radio frequency (RF) signal based on a simulated trajectory, which results in the GPS receiver calculating the navigation solution for the simulated trajectory. From the relative positions of the spacecraft the COE controller calculates the OCM for the deputy spacecraft. The formation flying simulation successfully demonstrates the closed-loop hardware-in-the-loop GPS simulator. This dissertation focuses on the development of the DSACSS facility including the development and implementation of a closed-loop GPS simulator and evaluation of nonlinear feedback attitude and orbit control laws using real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulators. / Ph.

163	Probing-based testing for SCADA systems : A novel method for hardware-in-the-loop integration testing of SCADA systems / Probbaserad testning av SCADAsystem : En ny metodik för integrationstestning av SCADAsystem på verklig hårdvara Heddini, August January 2024 (has links) Integration testing in software refers to a type of tests where system components are tested as a group for the purpose of verifying their interfaces. It is an important phase in system testing which aims at verifying the compliance of the system with specified functional requirements and the elimination of errors in the interaction of system components. Often integration testing is performed on complex systems with additional requirements for the testing approaches wherein the hardware limitations and time delays need to be taken into account. The testing of such systems is commonly performed through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests. Despite the advances in both integration testing and HIL testing, combining the two for complex systems is still a challenging issue requiring a new set of potential solutions. In this thesis work we propose a new solution approach for HIL integration testing of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems which does not require any simulation of the system under test. The solution presented in this thesis is based on the utilization of probes which are deployed to select component interfaces and through which real-time, inter-component communication can be observed without interference. The feasibility of the proposed approach is evaluated by applying it to a proof-of-concept test of the SCADA control system for a wave-energy converter in development by the thesis host company CorPower Ocean. In the results chapter we further discuss the architectural solution of the probing-based approach and provide further implementation details. Our conclusion is that the proposed approach corresponds to a promising, light-weight, and modular testing solution that can be used to perform live software integration tests of a fully connected system with little to no interference on its operation. / Inom mjukvarubranschen är integrationstester en typ av testning där grupper av systemkomponenter testas tillsammans för att säkerställa funktionaliteten av deras gränssnitt. Det är en viktig fas inom systemtestning som försäkrar att systemet som helhet uppfyller designkraven samt som minimerar felrisken i interaktioner mellan delkomponenter. Integrationstester utförs ofta på komplexa system där testningen i sig har ytterligare krav som inskränker metodvalet, till exempel då hänsyn behöver tas till hårdvarubegränsningar eller timing. Ofta genomförs testningen av sådana system med så kallade hardware-in-the-loop-tester (HIL). Trots modern utveckling inom både integrations- och HIL-testning är det fortfarande mycket utmanande att kombinera båda metoderna för komplexa system och nya lösningar behöver utvecklas och utvärderas. I denna avhandling föreslås en ny sådan lösning för HIL-testning av Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) -kontrollsystem som inte kräver att någon del av systemet simuleras under testernas utförande. Lösningen är baseras på användandet av mjukvarusonder som sätts in vid utvalda komponentgränssnitt och som i realtid kan observera interkomponentkommunikation utan störningspåverkan på komponenterna i sig. Den beskrivna lösningen utvärderades genom att utföra en praktisk konceptvalidering mot SCADAkontrollsystemet för avhandlingens värdbolag CorPower Oceans vågenergigenerator. I avhandlingen beskrivs även den arkitekturella lösning som krävdes för att genomföra sonderingsbaserad testning på ett reellt system samt implementationsdetaljer för konceptvalideringen. Slutsatsen är att den föreslagna lösningen beskriver en lovande och modulär testningsmetodik som kan användas för att genomföra mjukvaruintegrationstester av komplexa, sammankopplade system i realtid, utan simuleringar och utan betydande störningspåverkan på systemets operation Software Testing Integration Testing Hardware-in-the-Loop testing HIL Industrial Control System SCADA Probing-based testing TestingMethodology Mjukvarutestning Integrationstestning HIL Idustriella Kontrollsystem SCADA Sonderingsbaserad testning Testningsmetodik Computer Sciences Datavetenskap (datalogi)
164	Modeling, Simulation, and Injection of Camera Images/Video to Automotive Embedded ECU : Image Injection Solution for Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing Lind, Anton January 2023 (has links) Testing, verification and validation of sensors, components and systems is vital in the early-stage development of new cars with computer-in-the-car architecture. This can be done with the help of the existing technique, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing which, in the close loop testing case, consists of four main parts: Real-Time Simulation Platform, Sensor Simulation PC, Interface Unit (IU), and unit under test which is, for instance, a Vehicle Computing Unit (VCU). The purpose of this degree project is to research and develop a proof of concept for in-house development of an image injection solution (IIS) on the IU in the HIL testing environment. A proof of concept could confirm that editing, customizing, and having full control of the IU is a possibility. This project was initiated by Volvo Cars to optimize the use of the HIL testing environment currently available, making the environment more changeable and controllable while the IIS remains a static system. The IU is an MPSoC/FPGA based design that uses primarily Xilinx hardware and software (Vivado/Vitis) to achieve the necessary requirements for image injection in the HIL testing environment. It consists of three stages in series: input, image processing, and output. The whole project was divided in three parts based on the three stages and carried out at Volvo Cars in cooperation by three students, respectively. The author of this thesis was responsible for the output stage, where the main goal was to find a solution for converting, preferably, AXI4 RAW12 image data into data on CSI2 format. This CSI2 data can then be used as input to serializers, which in turn transmit the data via fiber-optic cable on GMSL2 format to the VCU. Associated with the output stage, extensive simulations and hardware tests have been done on a preliminary solution that partially worked on the hardware, producing signals in parts of the design that could be read and analyzed. However, a final definite solution that fully functions on the hardware has not been found, because the work is at the initial phase of an advanced and very complex project. Presented in this thesis is: important theory regarding, for example, protocols CSI2, AXI4, GMSL2, etc., appropriate hardware selection for an IIS in HIL (FPGA, MPSoC, FMC, etc.), simulations of AXI4 and CSI2 signals, comparisons of those simulations with the hardware signals of an implemented design, and more. The outcome was heavily dependent on getting a certain hardware (TEF0010) to transmit the GMSL2 data. Since the wrong card was provided, this was the main problem that hindered the thesis from reaching a fully functioning implementation. However, these results provide a solid foundation for future work related to image injection in a HIL environment.

166	Hardware-in-the-loop based-real-time simulations in robotic additive manufacturing Singh, Gurtej, Hajian Foroushany, Ali January 2022 (has links) Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) is a concept for testing physical equipment by connecting itto a mathematical representation (model) of the physical process. HiL-testing reduces thecost and saves time before testing the physical equipment (hardware) on the real (physical)process. The physical process chosen for this study is wire+arc additive manufacturing(WAAM), an advanced additive manufacturing (AM) technology that deposits metalbased material layer-by-layer. In this study, simulations of the robot path are carried outwhile the physical robot performs a physical process (additive manufacturing). In robotadditive manufacturing, the desired CAD model is currently sliced down into layers usingslicer software, and the layers are then translated into a path. The robot then moves alongthe path of these pre-defined layers to produce a three-dimensional structure. The heightof the produced structures and desired CAD models have deviations because of processinstabilities and temperature variations among other factors. The robot path should beupdated every time a layer is printed to compensate for the height differences. This isachieved by parametrizing the CAD model, i.e., the CAD model of the structure to beprinted is replaced by a mathematical equation (model). In this study, the mathematicalmodel is updated for each layer in real-time with feedback data from sensors that monitorthe additive manufacturing process. The concept of updating a mathematical model andexecuting it in real-time is called real-time simulation (RTS). In this study, a HiL-basedreal-time simulation setup has been developed, which predicts the required printing layerheight and the number of layers (based upon the latest feedback data from the monitoringsensors), and the required height of the structure. By combining hardware and software,a cyber-physical system has been created, enabling the transition from automation toautonomous robotics and contributing to Industry 4.0.
