Modes of model execution

The following modes of model execution on CPM "RITM" are supported:

  • Execution as an independent real-time application

  • Execution as an interactive real-time application

Each of the above modes is designed for different usage scenarios of RITM.

Independent execution mode

The model is started on the CPM "RITM" by pressing the button Run in independent mode in the window:

ritm standalone

In this case, a real-time application independent from Engee is generated from the model, which starts running on the RITM CPM without binding to Engee. You can watch the model execution on the monitor connected to the RITM. You can control the model execution using the application RITM.Machine Control.

Application area

This execution mode is intended for non-interactive, independent from Engee execution of the model on RITM. This mode can be used for simulation of a control object when on-the-fly adjustment of model parameters is not required. The main application scenario is semi-natural modelling (HIL).

Interactive execution mode

The model is started on the CPM "RITM" by pressing the button Run the model on hardware in the Main menu:

ritm interactive

This generates an interactive real-time application from the model, which starts running on the RITM. During operation of the real-time application it is possible to change parameters of the model itself on the fly, record model signals and view them in Graphs in Engee. As well as for independent model execution, in this mode it is possible to observe the model execution on the monitor connected to the CPM "RITM". The real-time application execution is controlled from the Engee model itself (see Model settings for details).

Application area

This runtime mode is designed to investigate the behaviour of control algorithms and to interactively tune a real-time application through the Engee model. The main application scenario is rapid prototyping of control algorithms.
