Development system for rapid control prototyping of robotics and aerospace uses introduced by dSPACE

WIXOM, Mich. – dSPACE Inc. in Wixom, Mich., is introducing the MicroLabBox II compact development system for rapid control prototyping or simple hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) applications for laboratories in research, education, and industry.

The MicroLabBox II combines high calculation speed and versatility in a compact enclosure. ITS quad-core processor enables fast execution of sophisticated Simulink models.

In addition, the MicroLabBox II development system offers a freely programmable field-programmable gate array (FPGA) for fast control loops or sophisticated and high-precision simulation models for the simulation of electric motors.
