Instead of an expensive equipping of laboratories with plant models, function generators, oscilloscopes and measuring instruments we offer our so-called Automatic Control Software Courses. They can be used as a supplement or alternative to conventional experiments within courses and although no hardware is needed they are of great clearness. The software courses are based on the WinFACT education editions and are mainly intended for colleges and universities for applied science. Each course deals with one topic and consists of the following components:
At the moment the following courses (German) are available:
item no. | courses | required WinFACT components * |
---|---|---|
0801D00xx | Introduction to PID-Control | BORIS, INGO |
0802D00xx | Closed loop systems with switching controllers (2-point, 3-point) | BORIS, INGO |
0803D00xx | Cascade and state control | BORIS, INGO, SUSY |
0804D00xx | Introduction to fuzzy control | BORIS, INGO, FLOP |
0805D00xx | Introduction to digital control | BORIS, INGO |
0806D00xx | Controller design in frequency range | BORIS, INGO, LISA, RESY |
Introduction to PLC-programming (in preperation) | Soft-PLC, (BORIS) |
* Requirement for using the automatic control software courses is the existence of the corresponding WinFACT licence (type A, B or C) which comprehends the needed WinFACT components.
This collection includes numerous different plant models for the block oriented simulation system BORIS. Each model consists of the functional block (mathematical plant model as a BORIS superblock) or several alternative functional blocks and the corresponding visualization block (User-DLL-Block) block, which visualizes the dynamic behaviour of the single plant variables graphically. Thus, these courses and plant models are especially suitable in the field of education and training and also as a basis for own process visualizations. All plant models optionally come with source listings and resource files (Pascal/Delphi format), so that own extensions can easily be programmed. A written documentation, of course, is delivered with each package. The following screenshots shows the available plant models (BORIS blocks).
