Description

 System

The experiments are set up with experiment plates in profile frames. The controlled system or control circuit are activated with the Profi-CASSY and the relevant measurement values recorded.

Objectives

  • Get familiar with the basic principles of controllers
  • Setpoint and disturbance control
  • Handle analysis and simulation software

Function
The liquid control system is comprised mainly of a pump as well as holding and measuring tanks. The inflow and outflow of liquids can be manipulated using two valves. The device contains an impeller wheel flowmeter with subordinate flow controller. An immersion pipe with pressure sensor records the fill level in the measuring tank and converts it into an electric signal for the fill level. The measured variables for flow rate and fill level are displayed on 7-segment displays. The digital liquid control system is characterized by a very compact build. It is delivered complete with all sensors and operation equipment and needs very few accessories.

Method
The equipment is ideal for demonstration and students' experiments. The tests were carried out with an electronic manual and the data files for CASSY Lab 2 and WinFACT. It is true Plug & Play: The measurement starts automatically after loading the data file.

Target groups
Students completing vocational training in electrical engineering the industry and students of automation engineering and mechatronics are the target group. The course offers introductory experiments that are very simple and also addresses difficult topics for bachelor-level studies.

Topics

  • Control design through pole-zero compensation
  • Determination of the controller gain Kp from a batch run
  • Control unit design through numerical optimization

  • Static identification of the fill level system
  • Software-assisted controller selection
  • Setpoint controlling of the fill level
  • Disturbance control of the fill level
  • Fill level controlling with a two-point controller
  • Fill level controlling with PC simulation
