Solution
Yes, LabVIEW's PID Control Toolset includes a
State-Space VI that can be used to simulate MIMO models given in state-space form. MIMO systems are usually represented by:
d
x(t)/dt =
Ax(t) +
Bu(t)
y(t) =
Cx(t) +
Du(t)
where
- x is the state vector
- u and y are the input and the output vectors
- A, B, C and D are the state-space matrices
The
State-Space VI calculates the new output and the internal states when given the state-space representation, the initial condition, and the input vectors. If the PID Control Toolset is installed, the
State-Space VI is available on the
Control Design and Simulation»Control Design»Model Construction palette.
If you have LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module (applies to LabVIEW 8.5 or above), you can use the
State-Space VI on the
Control Design and Simulation»Simulation»Continuous Linear Systems palette or the
CD Construct State-Space Model VI on the
Control Design and Simulation»Control Design»Model Construction palette.
