EXPERIMENTATION
perform the Operative Unit 10;
carry out the connections as in Fig.4.2.1;
disconnect for a moment the cable that connects jack 4 (Module 33 Unit 6) to jack 7 (Module
33 Unit 8);
insert a terminal of the digital voltmeter, set to direct current, in jack 1 Uref (SET POINT) and
the other one in ground jack;
adjust the SET POINT voltage to 4V (0.8bar);
move the terminal of the digital voltmeter in jack 3 of the pressure sensor (Module 33D);
close the DRAIN VALVE;
turn the knob Kp of the PROPORTIONAL CONTROLLER to 75% and the knob Ki of the
INTEGRAL CONTROLLER to 25%;

restore the connection between jack 4 (Module 33 Unit 6) and jack 7 (Module 33 Unit 8): the
pump starts and operates until when it reaches the SET-POINT value set with the Uref;
adjust the DRAIN VALVE so to make the pressure decrease in the tank: the pump starts again
to keep constant the pressure value in the tank;
observe what happens: after a series of oscillations the systems establishes itself;
repeat the previous operations for the different values of Ki, Kp, Uref and DRAIN VALVE so
to determine the best balance conditions of the system.

QUESTIONS
The output OFFSET represents:
The value assumed by the output quantity when the input quantity is null
The value assumed by the output quantity when the input quantity is
maximum

Answer:

The minimum variation of the input variation

Can the pressure transducers be used to measure the force ?
Yes

Answer:

No
In a proportional regulator (P):
The output signal is proportional to the integral of the input signal
The output signal is proportional to the input signal

Answer:

The output signal is proportional to the speed with which the input signal
varies
In its use field, does the operation of the regulator P depend on the time ?
Yes

Answer:

No
