AUTOMATIC CONTROL TECHNOLOGY

Automatic control technology is a wide generic term covering the operation and regulation of processes without continuous direct human intervention and this laboratory has been designed to introduce the fundamentals. The end user has the possibility to perform the control of variables such as temperature, light, level, flow and DC motor in different ways as PID, open-loop, closed-loop, continuous and discontinuous. Its architecture is very simple and modular allowing the final user to both learn the concepts in a simple way and to create new ones. Beside this trainer we have realized a compact board that can be possible to study the processes and the controllers in only one unit complete with data acquisition and processing software developed in LabView environment. It is recommended for high schools and first years of university.
