A. Real-time Platform
The heart of the Real-time platform used in this particular
case is based on powerful B&R X20 PLC and has possibility to
run on 0.4 ms (non-confirmed). In addition to the PLC the
platform also contains an FESTO amplifier for proportional
valve. Simulation model of HPP runs on the platform in realtime in cycling steps of 1 ms. Real-time simulation of this
nonlinear model requested powerful real-time platform since
cycling time step depends from the hardware platform
possibilities. Time step bigger than 10 ms usually is too big
time step for the solver to give stable and accurate results in the
area of simulation of hydraulic systems.

B. PC Monitoring program
Monitoring program is running on a standard PC and is
created using specialized software for Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition (SCADA) programing from National
Instruments called Lookout. The reason for choosing a
program like this is the opportunity for data logging of a big
amount of data in real-time in database or/and Excel file.
Through the SCADA interface parameters of the governor (like
proportional, integral and derivative constant Kp, Ki and Kd)
can be easily changed and the results of those changings can be
monitored and saved for an analysis. This program gives
opportunity to test the performances of the hydraulic cylinder
and proportional valve separately from the power plant
introducing different type of direct input signals (sinusoidal,
random) in open loop or closed loop. The performances can
also be check when the system is connected to the model of the
power plant.
