Training System Temperature Control- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
This compact teaching / training
unit offers every opportunity to learn the fundamentals of process
control through experimentation on a temperature control system. The
experimentation set-up is mounted on a solid housing which accommodates
all the electronics. A metal bar, which is thermally insulated with
cladding, is heated or cooled at one end by a Peltier element. Three
temperature transducers along the axis of the bar allow the variation in
temperature along the length of the bar, and hence the associated
thermal lags, to be obtained for differing operating conditions. A
dial-gauge thermometer offers the advantage that the temperature can be
read off directly at any time. The temperature is measured using a
thermal resistor (PTC). The transducer output signal is sent to the
software controller. The output signal from the controller influences
the operating voltage of the Peltier element and hence the heating
power. A fan that dissipates part of the heating energy can be activated
by the software to investigate the influence of disturbance variables.
The
powerful state-of-the-art software is an integral part of the training
system, embodying the principle of hardware/software integration (HSI).
It enables the experiments to be conducted and evaluated in a
user-friendly manner. The software has network capability. The link
between the practice system and the PC is made via a USB port.
The
clearly structured instructional material sets out the technological
fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.
