Module TPS - 3011
Process Control Training System1
Technical Characteristics
he trainer is enclosed in a metal case with a wide experiment platform printed circuit board (22cm x 35 cm), which ensures easy handling and good visibility of the components.
The components are located on the board, which has a silkscreen print of the analytical circuit and component symbols. The central part of the experiment board includes all the circuit block drawings and all the hands on components and test points.
The protected components are located on the circuit board, clearly visible to the student and protected by a sturdy transparent cover.
The system includes a built in power supply with +12V, +5V, and variable DC voltage outlets. An included low voltage external AC power adapter feeds the system.
The system includes:
• Pushbutton switch
• Light sensor
• Temperature sensor
• Voltage reference
• Comparator
• Adder and amplifier
• Feedback amplifier
• Driver
• Lamp
• Motor
• Buzzer
• Mulitester
• SES Lab unit with two-channel scope and function generator, which
communicates with a PC for controlling the function generator and oscilloscope
display, including spectrum analysis
Objectives
This course introduces the student to process control, sensors, and consumers,
open and closed loop system control, regulation, and PID control. The
system is built as a modular analog controller.
Description
The system is stand-alone, containing all the necessary electronics components
needed for performing the experiments. The experiment area is in the central
part of the trainer including circuit drawing, test points, and peripheral
inputs and outputs.
The circuit board, upper and lower sides, includes visible component circuits protected by sturdy transparent cover.
The system includes a built in power supply with +12V, +5V, and variable DC voltage.
The system includes the SES Lab unit with a two-channel oscilloscope and a function generator, which communicates with a PC to control the function generator and oscilloscope display, including spectrum analysis.
Experiments
A set of modules makes up the training unit. It enables students to use
a problem solving approach in studying a control system’s open and
closed loop systems. The course covers
• Switches and sensors
• Open loop control
• Temperature closed loop control
• Light closed loop control
• Light closed loop control
• Bi-stage closed loop control
