Design and Implementation of Mechatronic System

Introduction

In the last chapters we developed theoretical concepts and it is now time to pass to action and show how these concepts apply for real systems and how we can implement them in real time. This chapter deals with the design and the real-time implementation of algorithms for mechatronic systems. The design process consists of creating the physical mechatronic system and once this system is designed the next step consists of implementing the intelligence we want to give the system. The two phases are not independent and care should be paid during the execution of these two phases. In either the design or the implementation, specifications must be stated first and the request task is done in order to satisfy these restrictions.
