INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, the regulation and control engineering has an essential role in a wide range of control systems. A system can be mechanic,
electric, chemical, etc. and the mathematical modeling, analysis and controller design uses control theory in time, frequency and complex-s
domains, depending on the nature of the design problem.
The Computer Controlled Teaching Unit for the Study of Regulation and Control, “RYC”, is designed by EDIBON. It allows students to learn
the most important concepts about Regulation and Control in an easy and comprehensive way.
The unit is provided with a set of practices, through which the user will understand how to characterize integer systems, first order systems
and second order systems, and how the PID controller and the Lead & Lag controller work.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Regulation and control theory is divided into two major divisions in, namely, classical and modern. The implementation of classical
controller designs as compared to systems designed using modern control theory is easier and these controllers are preferred in most
industrial applications. The most common controllers designed using classical control theory, are PID controllers.
The Computer Controlled Teaching Unit for the Study of Regulation and Control, “RYC”, allows the students to simulate an integrator
system, a first order system and a second order system and regulate them with a PID controller or Lead & Lag compensator. The unit also
allows to simulate perturbations and offsets to analyze the response of the system.
A wide range of applications: DC Servo Motor Module, Ball and Beam Module, etc. for working with the “RYC” unit are available to study
a real control systems response to complement the Study of regulation and control in real time.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a
Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for
controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
