Real-time Control System Software

The Real-time Control System (RCS) is a software system developed by NIST based on the Real-time Control System Reference Model Architecture, that implements a generic Hierarchical control system.

The RCS Software Library is an archive of free C++, Java and Ada code, scripts, tools, makefiles, and documentation developed to aid programmers of software to be used in real-time control systems (especially those using the Reference Model Architecture for Intelligent Systems Design).

[1] RCS has been used in automated manufacturing, robotics, and automated vehicle research at NIST.

The software consists of a C++ library and GUI and configuration tools written in a variety of software languages.

The Software Library is offering the following RCS tools:[1] This article incorporates public domain material from the National Institute of Standards and Technology
