RYC - Computer Controlled Teaching Unit for the Study of Regulation and Control

1. RYC. Unit: The RYC is a Regulation and Control training unit designed by EDIBON. It allows students to learn the most important concepts about Regulation and Control in an easy and quick way. The unit is provided with a set of practices, through which the user will understand how to characterize first and second order systems and how a PID controller works. Unit: Metallic box Diagram in the front panel with similar distribution to the elements in the real unit. This unit includes the following modules: Reference signals module: It allows to generate three different types: step, ramp and sinusoidal. The frequency and amplitude of the signals can be adjusted using the potentiometers. PID controller module: It is subdivided into proportional, integrative and derivative blocks. Each block has its own potentiometer to adjust each parameter independently. Lead / Lag Compensator: It represents a compensator system in the Laplace domain. The system has a potentiometer z to modify the zero, p to modify the pole and K to modify the gain of the compensator. First Order System: It represents a first order system in the Laplace domain. The system has a potentiometer T to modify the time constant of the system. The gain can be also adjusted using the K potentiometer. Second Order System: It represents a second order system in Laplace domain. The system has three potentiometers to modify the three parameters of the system: gain K, damping coefficient and the natural frequency. Amplifier module: It can be used for signal amplification. There is a potentiometer, K, to adjust the gain of the amplifier. Analog Power Driver: It consists of a power amplifier that can be used as the last stage when a application requires high power supply ( for example a DC Motor, pump, etc) . Analog I/ O: It is provided with 8 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs. The inputs are used to visualize different signals in the computer. The analog outputs are for signal generation. Control Interface included. DC Servo Motor/ Tachometer Module: Metallic box. DC Servo Motor ( speed: 3600 rpm max.) . Tachometer ( speed : 3600 rpm max.) 2. DAB. Data Acquisition Board: PCI Data acquisition board ( National Instruments) to be placed in a computer slot. 16 Analog inputs. Sampling rate up to: 250 KS/ s. 2 Analog outputs. 24 Digital Inputs/ Outputs. 3. RYC/ CCSOF. Computer Control+ Data Acquisition+ Data Management Software: Registration and visualization of all process variables in an automatic and simultaneously way. Flexible, open and multicontrol software, developed with actual windows graphic systems, acting simultaneously on all process parameters. Management, processing, comparison and storage of data. Sampling velocity up to 250 KS/ s ( kilo samples per second) . Comparative analysis of the obtained data, after the process and modification of the conditions during the process. 4.
