Abstract

Abstract:

A number of labs are being developed using small scale dc motors that demonstrate the PID algorithm for speed and position control. These labs are very inexpensive and complement the PLC equipment presently in most automation labs. The labs will demonstrate the basic concepts of PID and the concept of loop-in-loop control. These labs are currently under development and will be shared in their early state complete with PLC program and HMI screen. They are extremely low cost and can be used to augment other labs using feedback control.
