Embed provides the ability to interface with popular analog and digital I/O boards and devices from National Instrument and Measurement Computing.
You can couple an Embed model directly with a real PLC or DCS system for off-line tuning, or to prototype an Embed control with a real plant. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems can be configured and executed by interfacing the Embed plant or controller models with real-world hardware, such as manufacturing plants, chemical processes, motors, pumps, and electric drives. The interface to the real-world hardware is through computer I/O cards; high-speed motion control interface cards; or serial port connections to Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) or Distributed Control Systems (DCSs). There is no code generation or programming involved to configure an HIL system with Embed.
