Baseline real-time target machine

Versatile test system for office, lab, field, and in-vehicle use

The compact and rugged yet performant Baseline real-time target machine is perfect for applications requiring a diverse set of I/O functionality, with up to a few hundred I/O channels.

This test system is frequently used for desk and field-based rapid control prototyping and smaller-scale desktop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations of digital twins.

With its 2 GHz quad-core CPU and an optional Simulink programmable FPGA, the real-time performance of this testing system is only topped by the Mobile and Performance real-time target machine.

The Baseline real-time target machine is designed to withstand high levels of shock and vibration, has a passive heatsink for silent fanless operation, and supports installing up to six supported I/O modules. In addition, many of the available I/O modules come with rugged M12 connectors.

Like all Speedgoat testing systems, it provides unrivaled workflow integration with MATLAB & Simulink.

Capabilities

Accelerate the design and testing of control designs and embedded controllers from MATLAB & Simulink

Speedgoat test system provide unrivaled MATLAB & Simulink workflow integration through Simulink Real-Time™. Rapidly prototype and test control designs. Test and automate testing of embedded controllers in real-time with your hardware under test.

Achieve most demanding sample rates and compute highly complex applications

Based on the closed-loop sample rate requirement of your application designed with Simulink, this target machine is configured with the best-suited high-performance multi-core CPU and and one optional Simulink programmable FPGA.

Vast range of supported I/O and large I/O expansion flexibility

Based on your required set of I/O functionality, each target machine is pre-configured with the best set of I/O modules, based on your choice from selecting 100+ I/O modules.

I/O modules are pre-installed at the time the target machine is purchased. Later I/O expansion is typically feasible and may require sending the test system to Speedgoat for the upgrade.

In addition to the rich set of onboard I/O functionality, the Baseline real-time target machine supports installing up to four I/O modules as -S version and up to six I/O modules as -M version.

Following modules are supported for installation into the -S version. High I/O density PMC or XMC form factor I/O modules can only be installed into the -M version.
