QUARC shines in because you can run real-time control on a standard Windows laptop (using Real-Time Kernel) without requiring a second dedicated target computer.
Click to compile the model into highly optimized C code.
Stream signals from the hardware target back to Simulink Scopes and MATLAB workspaces instantly.
– The classic inverted pendulum problem serves as an excellent demonstration of QUARC’s capabilities. Using the QUBE-Servo 2 rotary inverted pendulum, for example, students can design balancing controllers, implement swing-up strategies, and even explore reinforcement learning-based control—all through the same Simulink/QUARC workflow. quarc library simulink
Beyond simple input-output loops, QUARC scales effectively to handle complex, enterprise-level applications. Asynchronous Threading
The workflow for creating a real-time application with QUARC follows a logical progression that builds directly on standard Simulink practices:

The is not just a collection of I/O blocks—it is a complete real-time ecosystem. By enabling engineers to stay within the familiar Simulink environment while interacting with physical hardware, QUARC reduces development time from days to minutes. Its robust handling of real-time synchronization, versatile hardware support, and deep integration with Quanser’s world-class plants make it the go-to choice for control system education and research.

– The installation itself is straightforward: download the QUARC installer from Quanser’s website, ensure MATLAB is closed, and run the installer. The installer will automatically detect installed versions of MATLAB and integrate the QUARC library into the Simulink Library Browser. – The classic inverted pendulum problem serves as
