Interface didática para sintonia de controlador PID em planta industrial

Abstract

This paper presents a teaching app developed to allow integration between a computational environment with a training industrial bed. The system is mainly driven for dynamic control systems and industrial automation disciplines, although it also lead to evaluate controllers design making it suitable for research as well. The interface is fully integrated with a lab belt conveyor through NI USB-6221 data acquisition board which allows one to control and monitor its linear speed with set parameters accordingly. Results of both theoretical and experimental tests are compared to enlight the versatility of the set up to deal with simulation and hands-on experiment in a real test bed. Within this context, the work aims to provide a supervisory tool for students in order to show the whole process of controlling a real plant from design to implementation.
