A Feedback Control System For Engineering Technology Laboratory Courses

Abstract: A feedback control system for incorporation into an Engineering Technology controls laboratory has been developed. The purpose of developing a working control system is to reinforce controls theory taught in the classroom. A control system for positioning an air cylinder driven load platform was selected for the design. By controlling the height of the column of air in the air cylinder and regulating the pressure applied to the air cylinder piston, the platform could be positioned anywhere within the range of … Show more

“…These changes and affections are called parameter variations (gain and stability, temperature, supply voltage variations and/or external disturbances) where can be studied using mathematical and physical term expressions to illustrate entire control system change. The more keeping prosperities control system with entire changes the lesser sensitivity of control system [1,3]. This paper designs a control circuit to supervise and control the speed response of the DC motor with the virtual instrument graphic monitor software LabVIEW [4].…”

“…Ramachandran, Ordonez, Farrell, Gephardt, and Zhang 7 describe several multidisciplinary PID control experiments, including engine speed control, level/flow process control, and DC motor speed control. Somerville & Macia 8 describe the development of a PID control for positioning an air cylinder using classic Zeigler-Nichols tuning rules.…”
