Level Control AND Regulation Study Unit makes it possible to analyse the behavior of a control loop where the controlled quantity is the water level in a tank. The unit can be had in two versions, where the control element consists of a pneumatic valve or a motorised electricvalve. Students can examine the effects of the different control parameters on the performance of the control chain and the stability of the system; furthermore, they can become familiar with the components commonly adopted in modern industrial applications, as the system is entirely made of industrial quality components. The behavior of the controlled quantity can be followed visually so that the students can grasp the basic concepts of control and regulation techniques in an intuitive manner.

Pressure Control And Regulation Study Unit makes it possible to analyse the behavior of a control loop where the controlled quantity is the pressure of the air ina tank. Pressure control is one of the main problems encountered in factory automation and process control. Students can examine the effects of the different control parameters on the performance of the control chain and on the stability of the system; furthermore, they can become familiar with the components commonly adopted in modern industrial applications, as the system is entirely made of industrial quality components. With this trainer, all the tests can be performed through a Personal Computer and a special software for Windows. This makes the problem of choosing the most suitable control technique very interesting. Compared to other quantities such as the level or the temperature the pressure varies as a function of the regulating signal in a very quick way.

A solution flows, by falling, into mixing tank where also a noise solution is sent by falling from tank called Noise. Thanks to solenoid valves and and manual valves and the control the two flows is achieved, and measured directly by means of flow meters and. The purpose of the process is to control the pH of a solution initially held in tank called Main. Stirrer allows to get homogeneous solutions inside process tank. The pH of the solution present in mixing tank is measured by means of probe converted into electrical signal and supplied to electrical unit by means of signal transmitter. From sampling tank it is possible to take a sample of the controlled solution held in tank in order to measure the pH with other gauges.

Flow Control And Regulation Study Unit makes it possible to analyze the behaviour of a control loop where the controlled quantity is the flow rate of a liquid in a circuit. Students can examine the effects of the different control parameters on the performance of the control chain and on the stability of the system; furthermore, they can become familiar with the components commonly adopted in modern industrial applications, as the system is entirely made of industrial quality components. The unit can be had in two versions, where the control element consists of a pneumatic valve or a motorised electric valve. Compared to other quantities such as the level or the temperature the flow rate varies as a function of the regulating signal ina very quick way. This makes the problem of choosing the most suitable control technique very interesting.

Temperature Control And Regulation Study Unit makes it possible to analyse the behavior of a control loop where the controlled quantity is the temperature of aliquid in a tank. Students may test out the use of different types of regulators, as are currently employed in industrial applications, and thetests can be performed in highly realistic conditions, as the system is entirely made of industrial quality components. Temperature control is one of the main problems encountered in factory automation and process control. It is also extremely interesting for teaching purposes, because temperature varies very slowly over time and therefore makesit possible to apply different control techniques and to assess the effects of the control parameters involved. It is suitable to an interdisciplinary laboratory, because it includes mechanical, chemical, electronic and EDP contents. With this trainer, all the tests can be performed through a Personal Computer and a special software for Windows.
