EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM FOR WATER LEVEL REGULATION: SIMULATION AND CONTROL
Ivan Masnjak, Dubravko Majetić, Danko Brezak · 2009
The paper presents a student research work on interactive graphical interface for simulation and control of an experimental water level control setup. The setup has been designed for educational purposes of control system demonstration and implementation. A brief description of the experimental setup is given with the emphasis on two operating modes, simulation and control. Discrete-time PID control algorithm was integrated in water pump control loop. For both operating modes, the computer interactive graphical interface was built up. Both, mechanical and electrical parts of the setup have been realized in the Laboratory for automation and robotics. The communication with PC was established through serial port using MatLab software.
