COM4LAB Course: Control Loops and Stability

The COM4LAB course Control Loops and Stability is the second course to the control engineering. The basic concepts and laws of the control loops are explained and practically devised using a number of experiments. The course comprises 10 chapters.

The course covers the following topics:

• stability of automatic control systems
• performance criteria for automatic control loops
• optimisation guideliness for PID controllers
• controller design according to Ziegler/Nichols
• automatic temperature control
• automatic speed control
• automatic light control
• automatic control of controlled systems without compensation
• automatic control with discontinuous controllers
• fault simulation

The course …

• can be displayed and filled out on your own tablet/smartphone/laptop.
• is platform-independent - a current browser is sufficient.
• can be distributed to students via QR codes.
• enables interactive experimenting: The measured values from the Master Unit are automatically made available for evaluation in tables and diagrams. The analysis and documentation of the experiment on the student device can be done at school or at home.
• can be edited and thus adapted to your own lesson plan.
