At a remote site, we will have an industrial PC that must read incoming measurements and process them. Communication to the industrial PC will be unreliable so it must execute the code itself. I am presently writing an algorithm in Matlab to process the measurements. But getting the Matlab code to run in near real-time on the industrial PC is a new task for me and my coworkers. Questions:
- Can I simply install Matlab on the industrial PC and run my code?
- If not, what are the components of a basic stand-alone real-time system?
- How do I choose an industrial PC that can run my code fast enough? Can I run the code on my machine with simulated measurements to get metrics that will define what to look for in an industrial PC?
