Abstract: 
Streszczenie: 

There is a need to check the effects of automatic regulation system, before it is used in real conditions when sailing on Silm Lake. Simulink Real-Time platform, which is a component of Matlab software, is designed for simulation of automatic control systems working on the basis of real objects. In the simulations nonlinear mathematical model of real floating training ship is used as a control object. The model contains modeled filters used for longitudinal, transversal and rotational speeds on the basis of position change and transducers for thrusters and steering gear. Above mentioned simulations are conducted in real time, because it allows for taking into account time of the signals propagation and digital signal processing effects. This article presents the real time lab station system configuration. Simulation results for Model Predictve Control system are described and presented.
