Trainer for Controller Tuning

Model HV-EXP4447

Technical Description:-

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. The  particular feature of this trainer is that no real systems are used; the controlled system is simulated on a PC by a simulation program  developed by Hoverlabs. This principle is in widespread application in  product development in industry and is known as Hardware in Loop(HIL). Allmajor 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- extremeparameter situations can be  investigated. The time response can be recorded and analysedusing 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 materialoutlines the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the exercises.
