Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 55 N° 4 (Novembre 2012) . - pp. 538 - 545 Titre : Mechatronic aeropendulum : demonstration of linear and nonlinear feedback control principles with MATLAB/simulink real-time windows target Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Eniko T. Enikov, Auteur ; Giampiero Campa, Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : pp. 538 - 545 Note générale : Education Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Feedback  linearization  Simulink  Linear  feedback  control  Real-time  control  Real-time  windows  target Résumé : This paper presents a low-cost hands-on experiment for a classical undergraduate controls course for non-electrical engineering majors. The setup consists of a small dc electrical motor attached to one of the ends of a light rod. The motor drives a 2-in propeller and allows the rod to swing. Angular position is measured by a potentiometer attached to the pivot point. A custom-designed circuit board produces the controlled voltage input to the motor. The target board is powered and communicates with the PC through its USB port using a virtual RS-232 port. A simple MATLAB/Simulink module has been created to read the pendulum angle and send a command signal to the motor. The module is based on Real-time Windows Target software, which allows a sampling rate of up to 200 Hz. Students are able to design and test classical PID and phase lead-lag controllers, as well as modern controllers, including state-space controller design combined with feedback linearization. A semester-long series of assignments is described that can be carried out without the need for a specialized laboratory or teaching assistants. The project was tested in a classical control systems design class of senior-level mechanical engineering students. Student feedback and survey data on the effectiveness of the modules are also presented.
