Speedgoat - Unit Real-Time Target Machine
The Unit real-time target machine is ideal if you need a small-scale real-time controller or plant simulator with perfect MATLAB & Simulink workflow integration. Rapidly design, test, run, and deploy high-performance controls applications and run smaller-scale plant simulations.
Its quad-core Atom processor, a fast SSD for data logging, and the optional IO397 Simulink programmable FPGA option enable you to achieve closed-loop rates approaching 20kHz for applications requiring a smaller set of I/O. The Baseline, Mobile, and Performance real-time target machine provides even faster real-time performance and larger scalability.
The Unit machine provides a rugged enclosure with passive cooling and supports operating temperature ranges of up to -40 °C to +85 °C.
By default, the Unit real-time target machine provides one host-target link (GbE port), plus one GbE port supporting one of the following functionalities: Real-Time UDP, XCP, TCP/IP, PTP IEEE1588, EtherCAT Master, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, or DNP3.
In addition, it provides one I/O expansion slot for one of the following functionalities: Analog and digital, including PWM, encoder, SPI, I2C and SENT, or serial (RS232/RS422/RS485), or CAN/CAN FD, or industrial protocols such as EtherCAT Slave, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, ModbusTCP, and POWERLINK.
Like all Speedgoat testing systems, it provides unrivaled workflow integration with MATLAB & Simulink.
