Control Systems

Responsive, Reliable, Efficient

 

LinearLab is a global supplier of control solutions to a wide range of industries and sectors. With the aid of sophisticated internal software development and code production environments, we deliver integrated control systems through control actuation subsystems to specialty controllers and actuators.

Our system solutions are built on a solid foundation of design, integration, testing and certification expertise. We are uniquely qualified to create solutions tailored around the customer’s goal for performance, reliability, efficiency and cost due to our unique combination of system and component expertise.

Common Applications

  • Rapid test and iteration of control strategies with real hardware such as drives and motors (PM synchronous motor, brush-less DC motor, stepper motor).
  • High fidelity closed-loop controls leveraging low-latency I/O’s and FPGAs
  • Real-time testing of controls algorithms
  • Embedded design optimization using a real-time system data

Capabilities

  • Agile System Development – Deliver software-enabled systems through rapid and continuous development, to deliver designs faster while supporting variable requirements
  • Preventative maintenance – Used to detect & prevent impending failures of critical equipment
  • Real-Time Simulation and Testing – Test control systems and signal processing algorithms on hardware in real time
  • Physical Modeling – Accelerate control design and system-level analysis with physical system models

Solutions Applied To:

  • UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) flight controls & avionics systems
  • HAPS (High Altitude Pseudo Satellites) energy efficient propulsion and payload management
  • GCS (Ground Control Systems) – Remote piloting of UAV’s using LOS & BLOS data communication systems
  • High power density EV (Electric Vehicle) motor and battery systems
  • Intelligent controller-based EMS (Energy Management Systems) for solar power vehicles using AC & DC distributed power networks
  • Control actuation systems used on hydro-foiling Americas Cup Sailing craft and high-performance Grand Prix Vehicles

    Design & Simulation Tools

    LinearLab leverages MBD (Model Based Design) and HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation) / Digital Twin solutions to effectively validate our controller design.

    This process enables us verify our designs without the need for complete system hardware. Operating a a real-time plant simulator that acts as a digital twin of the whole system has enormous benefits from practicality and performance, to significantly lowering costs.

     Key features of our MBD & HIL environment:

    • Links a common design environment across multi-discipline platforms and teams
    • Efficiently connect designs directly to requirements
    • Integrate testing with design
    • Refine algorithms through multidomain simulation
    • Automatically generate embedded software code and documentation
    • Continued development and reuse of test suites for multiple sub-systems
    • Safely test corner cases and integrate new hardware before full scale implementation
    • Automate extensive tests with physical hardware at a very early stage, and reduce the likelihood of costly design errors

    Expert Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) Design 

    LinearLab has built a significant knowledge base in HMI (Human Machine Interface) design. From racing grand prix vehicles, professional sailing to flight simulation, our team leans on practical experience to design UI (User Interface) features that harmonize the digital interface between the user and physical system.
