  Process Control Rig

  The unit is used as an introduction to the subject of control technology. Temperature, flow rate and filling level control systems are used as examples to provide clear and practical fundamental information. The experimental system is controlled from the PC screen (not included in scope of supply). The supplied process control and illustration programs make it possible to carry out the experiment as well as record measurement reports and store measured data. Important process variables are shown digitally on the unit itself. All components of the unit are clearly mounted on a metal sheet. The storage and process tanks are transparent for better viewing of the process. The unit is designed as a experimental unit for tabletop use. It requires only an electrical power connection for operation.

  Training System Position Control

  This compact teaching / training unit offers every opportunity to learn the fundamentals of process control through experimentation on a linear position control system. The experimentation set-up is mounted on a solid housing which accommodates all the electronics. A transparent protective cover permits safe observation of the experiments. A carriage can be moved by a DC motor via a toothed belt. The linear positioning is measured by a rotary encoder and delivered as a voltage signal. The output signal from the transducer is sent to the software controller. The output signal from the controller influences the motor current. The motor is automatically shut down if the carriage reaches one of the two end positions. The powerful state-of-the-art software is an integral part of the training system, embodying the principle of hardware/software integration (HSI). It enables the experiments to be conducted and evaluated in a user-friendly manner. The software has network capability. The link between the training system and the PC is made via a USB port. Clearly structured and comprehensive instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.

  Trainer for Controller Tuning

  This benchtop trainer deals with the interaction between controller and controlled system, the objective being for the closed control loop, comprising the controller and the controlled system, to exhibit the desired optimum response. The setting of controller parameters – a key practical aspect – can be practised safely and intensively using simulation software. Concepts such as open and closed loop control, stability, step response, disturbance and control response are clearly demonstrated. This principle is in widespread application in product development in industry and is known as Hardware in Loop (HIL). All major types of controlled systems can be selected in the program. The system parameters can be set within broad limits so that – unlike actual controlled systems – extreme parameter situations can be investigated. The time response can be recorded and analysed using the software. The controller and the PC are connected by a data acquisition card with AD and DA converters. The process controller that is used can be easily configured from the PC across an interface using the software provided. Clearly structured instructional material outlines the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the exercises.

  Training System Speed Control

  This compact teaching / training unit offers every opportunity to learn the fundamentals of process control through experimentation on a speed control system. The experimentation set-up is mounted on a solid housing which accommodates all the electronics. A transparent protective cover permits safe observation of the experiments. A DC motor drives a shaft with a mass flywheel. The dial gauge allows the speed to be read off directly at any time. The speed is measured inductively using a speed transducer. The output signal from the transducer is sent to the software controller. The output signal from the controller influences the motor current. A generator acting as a mechanical resistance to shaft rotation can be activated by the software to study the influence of disturbance variables. The powerful state-of-the-art software is an integral part of the training system, embodying the principle of hardware/software integration (HSI). It enables the experiments to be conducted and evaluated in a user-friendly manner. The software has network capability. The link between the practice system and the PC is made via a USB port. Clearly structured and comprehensive instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.
