Component sort and assembly! Interfaces to most major types of PLC! Comprehensive courseware! Fundamentals of logic The Dual Conveyor Workcell is a complete system which can be used to develop the parts selection task into a simple assembly process. Plastic and metal components are selected by size and are fed onto the chutes for dispensing into a final assembly task where they are combined with a 2nd component. The finished product can then be sorted by material, assembly or type. The system allows complex control scenarios to be developed using combinations of timers and counters with master and zone control functions. An optional Diameter Gauging Unit 34-110 is also available which can be added to the workcell to allow the diameter of any components on the conveyor to be measured. Using a similar system to the height detector, the unit provides three possible outputs: under size, over-size, or the logical NAND of the two providing one input to the PLC for correct sized components. The position of the parts probe is controlled by two sensors detecting top dead-centre of the drive cam. Acceptable tolerances for components can be preset. The addition of the second gauge unit allows programs of greater complexity to be developed. The programming of the detector is an excellent introduction to the use of logical detectors for in-process inspection and quality control.

Basics of PLC programming! Developing ladder logic programmes! Basic and advanced sequence control The elevator provides a sophisticated application to illustrate the principles of PLC interfacing and control based on a real-life application. Starting with simple programme sequences to control elevator speed, direction and floor arrival/ departure, the student can progress to advanced floor request handling and continuous (analogue) control with acceleration profiling and compensation for varying car loads. The elevator car moves between floors in response to requests from call buttons at each floor or within the elevator car (located on an external panel). Sensors indicate which floor the elevator car is at and provide advance warning to allow the car to be slowed prior to arriving at the destination floor. A brake allows the car to be held at a floor while the motorised car door is operated allowing the occupants to enter or leave. An audio sounder is provided to announce arrival at a floor. The internal controller unit provides closed-loop motor speed control with both logic & analogue interfaces so the elevator can be controlled by a basic PLC with minimal digital I/O. More sophisticated control may be implemented using additional analogue I/O. An integral load-cell and motor position feedback can extend the application to continuous control. The load-cell indicates elevator car loading and a set of weights simulate varying numbers of passengers. The position feedback signal allows advanced control of the elevator car motion.

Advanced MATLAB Control Applications MATLAB Matlab SOFTWARE Control Applications using MATLAB MATLAB is a higher-level technical computing language that provides an environment for algorithm development, data analysis, data visualisation, etc. Together with SIMULINK and additional toolboxes it facilitates control system design and analysis, which can later be implemented in real-time applications using Real-time Workshop. With an Advantech PCI card this creates an impressive digital control system development environment. Feedback Instruments control applications are designed to be compatible with such an environment. Using the detailed training manuals the user is guided through the design process within MATLAB. The following crucial development steps are described: " Phenomenological process models " Dynamics analysis " Discrete models identification " Controller design " Controller tests on the model " Controller implementation in real-time applications " Implementation of various control strategies " Data visualisation The Phenomenological process models are designed in SIMULINK to provide initial models for the user to test. Model linearization is then discussed and the use of simple dynamics analysis - like bode diagrams poles and zeros maps are introduced. To obtain accurate models Identification procedures incorporating MATLAB functions are described. The user has a chance to go step-by-step through the discrete models identification. One of the obtained models is used for the Controllers design and PID control is explained. A guide is given for PID controller design, testing, tuning and implementation on the model. Root locus technique is used to illustrate the changes that PID controller tuning inflicts on the control system performance. The designed controllers are prepared in SIMULINK to be built and tested through the Real-time Workshop using the Feedback control applications. The series of assignments provide a comprehensive course, and the user has a choice of using the pre-written applications, according to the manual, or designing their own.

Up and down model The Digital Pendulum is a modern version of a classical control problem; that of erecting and balancing a free swinging pendulum in its inverted position or moving a hanging pendulum in a controlled manner. The cart on the track is digitally controlled to swing up (SELF ERECTING) and to balance the pendulum into an upright sustained position or to move the cart with pendulum in an unperturbed down position. The cart track is of limited length, imposing constraints on the control algorithm. In pendulum mode the system is used to control the twin arm pendulum from an initial position, hanging at rest with the cart in the centre of its travel along the track, to a final position with the pendulum upright and the cart restored to its central position. In crane mode the control problem is to move the position of the cart without undue movement of the pendulum. This problem is typical of that experienced when controlling a gantry crane.

A 25mm diameter, hollow steel sphere is suspended in space with visually appealing results and convenient time constants. Both analogue & digital control solutions are implemented. Convenient sockets on the enclosure panel allow for quick changes of analogue controller gain and compensation components. The equipment is self-contained in analogue mode, with built-in power supply. In the digital mode the system operates within a MATLAB environment which allows the system parameters to be determined and the system to be modelled. Once the digital controller parameters have been determined, the controller can be used to run the hardware and the actual control performance can be seen and analysed.

Advanced MATLAB Control Applications MATLAB Matlab SOFTWARE Twin Rotor MIMO 33-007-PCI The Twin Rotor System demonstrates the principles of a non-linear MIMO system with significant cross-coupling.

Significant cross-coupling is observed between the actions of the rotors, with each rotor influencing both angle positions.
