Simulink | Quarc Library

QUARC Targets Library is a specialized extension for Simulink that enables high-performance, real-time code generation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. Unlike standard Simulink libraries, it provides unique blocks for hardware access, asynchronous communications, and advanced visualization. Core Capabilities Hardware Interfacing HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop)

The Quarc library for Simulink streamlines converting Simulink control designs into real-time hardware implementations by providing hardware-specific I/O blocks, real-time orchestration, and deployment tools. Following fixed-step design, hardware abstraction, and incremental testing ensures reliable, deterministic control on supported targets.

Always place standard Simulink Saturation blocks immediately before your HIL Write blocks. This prevents sending dangerous over-voltage signals to your physical amplifiers and motors. quarc library simulink

To get the most out of the QUARC library in your next project, keep these best practices in mind:

QUARC is a comprehensive real-time control software framework developed by Quanser. It integrates directly into MathWorks Simulink, adding a specialized library of blocks designed for hardware communication, data logging, and real-time execution. QUARC Targets Library is a specialized extension for

What are you trying to control (e.g., motor, robot, drone)?

Under , select a fixed-step solver (e.g., ode4 or ode1 ) and set an appropriate fundamental sample time (typically 0.001 seconds for a 1 kHz loop). Step 2: Adding QUARC Infrastructure To get the most out of the QUARC

Officially supports Windows and Linux (Ubuntu). No macOS support. Real-time execution on embedded Linux targets is possible but not as streamlined.
