xPC Target Turnkey

Overview

xPC Target Turnkey is a complete, fully assembled, real-time testing solution that combines xPC Target with a high-performance real-time target machine and I/O modules. Target machines and I/O modules meet a wide range of I/O connectivity, form factor, and environmental requirements. Your real-time target machine will be assembled based on your needs, and it will be ready to use when you receive it.

xPC Target Turnkey is optimized for Simulink and xPC Target. A real-time target machine consists of a target computer and I/O modules that provide connectivity to the hardware under test, plus the necessary drivers, cables, terminal boards, and software tools.

The real-time target machines for xPC Target Turnkey are supplied by Speedgoat GmbH.  Speedgoat specializes in specifying, customizing, and assembling real-time testing solutions based on xPC Target for customers worldwide. Contact your local sales representative to set up an engineering assessment for your real-time testing project or application.

Additional I/O Connectivity
You can also develop your own real-time testing solution for xPC Target using the I/O drivers and functions provided by the product that support other target computer hardware and I/O boards, which you specify and purchase directly from the hardware manufacturers.

Real-Time Target Machines

Real-time target machines are optimized to work with Simulink and xPC Target and meet a wide range of performance, space, environmental, I/O expansion, and bus-type requirements.

All real-time target machines are available with a variety of options (such as CPU, RAM, HD, and I/O expansion slots), and you can customize them for specific connectors, form factors, and power supplies. You can also order machines with racks, mounting options, external panels, external signal conditioning hardware, and other components.

Additional features may be available on request. Contact your local sales representative.

I/O Modules

With xPC Target Turnkey you select the I/O modules that are suitable for your project or application, and they are integrated into your real-time target machine. These I/O modules provide seamless connectivity between your Simulink models and your hardware under test.

All I/O modules listed below, except for the Classic real-time target machine, come in the PMC form factor and can be used in all listed real-time target machines using a PCI, PCIe, or cPCI carrier card. The Classic real-time target machine supports I/O modules in the PC/104 form factor only.

Delivery includes the I/O module, a prewired terminal board, a cable, a carrier card for your selected target machine, and an extensive set of drivers and test models for Simulink and xPC Target.

Supported I/O connectivity options include:

• Analog (high-resolution, high-speed, simultaneous, audio/speech)
• Digital (TTL, 12V, 24V, high-drive, opto-coupled)
• Serial (RS232, RS422, RS485, SDLC, HDLC)
• Pulse train (PWM, capture, quadrature decoding)
• Data buses (CAN, Raw Ethernet, J1939, ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553)
• Inter-system, inter-sensor/actuator, and inter-chip protocols (SPI, I2C, SSI)
• Real-time raw Ethernet and UDP/IP
• LVDT/RVDT/Synchro/Resolver
• Shared/Reflective memory
• FPGA to implement custom I/O connectivity, functionality, and algorithms
