The new configuration allows preparing experiments in advance on a standard PC. Any control algorithm synthesis can be easily realized in the graphical development environment, which is very similar to the well known Simulink. Data from all sensors placed in the boiler sensors are time-synchronized and centralized to PAC. During the experiment PAC sends measured data to Simulink running on a remote computer. Data is periodically saved in Simulink for further off-line analysis. The described development of the switchbox with RexWinLab-8000 changed the standard factory boiler to an experimental base that allows preparation, monitoring, interfering, data acquisition and analysis during the experiments in real-time.
