Raptor Rapid Control Prototyping

Take control of your system development from the start without paying the tens of thousands of dollars typical for most rapid prototyping hardware. Our embedded Model-Based Development (eMBD) platform, Raptor™, provides the speed and flexibility of traditional rapid control prototyping using the MATLAB / Simulink environment, but uses hardware that costs a small fraction of similar systems.

The Raptor tool chain is a suite of software tools matched with off-the-shelf controller products designed to assist businesses as they develop control software for complex electromechanical systems. Developers can easily create, compile, build, and flash the model onto ruggedized, off-the-shelf hardware without the hassle of manual programming. In addition, each Raptor enabled ECU ranges in pin count, I/O capabilities, and processor configuration to better suit a variety of applications while costing significantly less than typical prototyping hardware.

With fast development iterations using model-based simulation, rapid-prototyping, controls development, and ruggedized, off-the-shelf hardware, developers can optimize their control system design in a cost efficient manner.

Rapid Prototype Development

Get your prototype up and running quickly with the Raptor tool suite. Utilizing the graphical programming environment of MATLAB/Simulink, developers can quickly and easily develop software using multiple block libraries with numerous interface functionalities and configurable I/O capabilities. Our tools allow you to automatically build, test, and integrate prototype models, as well as make real-time calibration changes, without manual programming.

• Intuitive software environment that lets you easily develop software using multiple block libraries with various interface functionalities.
• Single-click automated build & integration process

High Quality Controllers

Automatically integrate your controls software onto rugged, cost-efficient hardware built to endure the harshest of environments. New Eagle offers a variety of trusted ECUs that range in pin count, input, output, memory, and processor configuration, and are tailored to suit a variety of applications. With our ASIL capable, IP6k9k compliant controllers that can typically operate in temperatures ranging from -40C to +105C, our ECUs are built with the most rigid standards available. In addition, each Raptor enabled ECU ranges in pin count, I/O capabilities, and processor configuration to better suit a variety of applications while costing significantly less than typical prototyping hardware.

• Rugged ECUs are built to handle extreme environments while costing as much as 1/50th the price of generic prototyping hardware
• Controllers directly connect to sensors and actuators and can be used on vehicles, in the lab, or on bench tests
• ECU options that range in pin count, I/O capabilities, memory, and processor configuration

High Quality Displays

Raptor also targets embedded displays with the same embedded Model-Based Development tools.

• PC based simulation of application created during Simulink build
• Exposes user input (buttons) via standard trigger mechanism
• Automated Bitmap code generation

Scalable Prototype Systems

With our Raptor-enabled ECUs and displays costing roughly a small fraction that of generic rapid control prototyping hardware, engineers will save money throughout the development cycle. Not only can these ECUs be used during the initial prototyping stages, but these controllers are also scalable and intended for automotive mass-market production. Utilize the same hardware throughout the entire system lifecycle and avoid extra iterations cycles that are normally required for production hardware.

With fast development cycle times using model-based simulation, rapid-prototyping, controls development, and ruggedized, off-the-shelf hardware, developers can optimize their control system design in a cost efficient manner. Developers can deploy their prototype (or production) designs out to a fleet using Raptor ECUs, where this would be cost prohibitive with traditional rapid control prototyping hardware.
