Design of an experimental platform for process control systems

Abstract

Control systems are lectured in various engineering fields from chemical engineering to electrical engineering. Control systems training become more efficient when the training activities are supported by experimental studies. During the experimental studies, observing control process and analyzing data captured from the process in a computer provide a significant contribution to education. This paper presents a method for the purpose of improving some process control experiment sets used by the department of chemical engineering as the computer-aided experimental sets. This method may be used by researchers who will either develop an experimental set for process control systems or improve the actual experimental set. Real experiments are performed to show the working of the developed system.
