The Automatic Control Compact Models are a well-priced alternative or add-on to our automatic control program system WinFACT. Each model combines all control, visualization and analysis functions within one uniform compact user interface. All models are ready-to-use, i. e. they are ready for use without previous configuration, parameterization or the like. An technology resp. block diagram illustrates the process. All main variables and parameters can easily be adjusted via sliders and their effects can directly be checked during simulation. Bar graphs, numerical displays as well as time response diagrams present the results very clearly. The integrated online help provides background information on the corresponding control loop if necessary.
Each Automatic Control Compact Model consists of two partial models:
The first partial model enables the analysis of the control loop, e. g. for the experimental determination of the system parameters. For that purpose the manipulated variable can be preset via a slider and activated via a button. The second partial model enables the analysis of the closed loop using different controller types and parameters.
Important: All models are stand-alone usable, i. e. no WinFACT license is required!
At present the following compact models are available (the user interfaces are designed with our Flexible Animation Builder):
Cascade of three pressure tanks
Speed control of a motor generating set
Temperature control in a room
Light control in a room
Loading crane state control
Example for a multi variable control
Control of a PT2 plant with different types of controllers
Liquid level control of a tank
Conzentration control at a cascade of three tanks
Cascade temperature control
Plant control without compensation
Temperature control with two position-, three position- and PID-controller
Liquid level control of a tank cascade
Synchronous run control of two belts
Aircraft attitude control (II-plant)
A lot of further models as well as comprehensive experiment instructions are in preperation and will soon be available. Of course, we also like to build models based on your own ideas!
