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.
NB: The plc in the picture is not supplied with the equipment.

PLC Applications

Elevator 34- 150

Features
! Fully working model of an elevator with four floors ! Floor sensing and visual indication of direction of travel ! Motorised elevator car door with internal illumination and audible sound to announce arrival at each floor ! Normally on brake to hold car at desired floor ! Up/down call buttons for each floor ! Front panel manual switch for testing and debugging ! Integral motor servo controller with mechanical brake ! Elevators may be mounted side-by-side to demonstrate complex multi-elevator systems ! Discrete motor interface for PLC logic only control: variable up/down speed at 100%, 60% and 30% ! Built-in closed loop control with option to close the loop using external controller ! Interfaces with most PLC types. Analogue control is also available ! Load-cell indicates passenger loading in elevator car ! Selection of weights to simulate varying passenger loads ! Vertical travel limit switches ! Analogue car position feedback signal ! Switchable faults ! Example code provided for Allen Bradley and Mitsubishi PLCs

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.

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.

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.

Magnetic Levitation System 33- 006- PCI

Features
Analogue operation
! Non-linear model ! Unstable system ! Linearisation about an operating point ! Infra-red sensor characteristics ! Lead-lag compensation ! Perturbation sensitivity ! PD control

This classic magnetic levitation control problem is now presented in a new and innovative form. 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.

Twin Rotor MIMO 33- 007- PCI

The Twin Rotor System demonstrates the principles of a non-linear MIMO system with significant cross-coupling. Its behaviour resembles a helicopter but the angle of attack of the rotors is fixed and the aerodynamic forces are controlled by varying the speeds of the motors. Significant cross-coupling is observed between the actions of the rotors, with each rotor influencing both angle positions. The MATLAB software allows the student to design and test stabilising controllers with independent control applied to each co-ordinate of the system. More advanced investigations may be carried-out through user-defined algorithms from within SIMULINK.

Disturbance compensator with PID control

The Coupled Tanks set-up is a model of a chemical plant fragment. Often tanks are coupled through pipes and the reactant level and flow has to be controlled. The Coupled Tanks experiment is designed so that the system can be configured. The Coupled Tanks system has four translucent tanks each with a pressure sensor to measure the water level. The couplings between the tanks can be modified by the use of seven manual valves to change the dynamics of the system imposing the use of different controllers. Water is delivered to the tanks by two independently controlled, submersed pumps. Step disturbances generation is provided by four manual valves. Drain flow rates can be modified using easy to change orifice caps. There are two ways to control the Coupled Tanks set-up. One with the use of SIMULINK and the Advantech PCI1711 card, the second possibility is to use the Feedback UCI as a stand-alone controller. The user may build their own models or use the models supplied together with the curriculum. The UCI can perform as a stand-alone controller. The same algorithms designed in SIMULINK can be performed using a Windows based application. The process variables can be observed online on plots. The product is supplied with comprehensive student manuals that provide information about the physical behaviour of the system models and guide the student through the control tasks. Control algorithms are developed, tested on the models and then implemented in a real-time application.
