Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) is a process that lets engineers quickly test and iterate their control strategies. Consequently, mathematical models are automatically imported with MATLAB/Simulink (TM) on a real-time machine with real I/O interfaces to connect to real-world systems. RCP solutions can be used with different real-time solutions in hardware and software such as Speedgoat GmbH, dSPACE, National Instruments, OPAL-RT, Pi Innovo, New Eagle's Raptor and others.

RCP benefits:RCP decreases development time by allowing corrections to be made early in the product process. By giving engineering a look at the product early in the design process, mistakes can be corrected and changes can be made while they are still inexpensive.
