Abstract
An embedded intelligent optimal control platform is designed and developed in this paper. On the hardware side, the embedded industrial controller uses ARM9 as the core processor to meet the requirements of low-power consumption, low-cost and high computation performance. On the software side, Xenomai Linux OS and ProConOS are adopted to realise hard real-time control performance. Besides, MultiProg is used to support block programming of the control software. To validate the effectiveness of embedded control platform, the grinding circuit mineral processing plants is used as an example to design an intelligent optimal control system and validates its performance through Hardware-in-the-Loop experiment. The experiment results show that this platform can fully satisfy the requirements of industrial optimal control.
