System
For reasons of clarity, large process engineering processes are often divided into sub-processes. This enables the step-by-step commissioning of production facilities and efficient troubleshooting in the event of a fault. The equipment is set up from various sub-processes.
Each controlled system allows numerous experiments to be carried out on its own. However, due to the modular experimental setup with experimental plates, the sub-processes can also be combined with each other without any problems. If additional electronic transfer elements are integrated (from E6.3.4), further dead times and time constants are created that have a decisive influence on the behaviour of the entire process.
Technical processes, modelled on the basis of experimental plates, can thus be adapted to any practical control engineering problem. Experiments with experimental panels are therefore a cost-effective alternative to large-scale control engineering models. Experiments with experimental panels work consistently with the Profi-CASSY interface. Together with the WinFACT analysis and simulation software, the measurement results can be immediately compared with a suitable computer simulation. This allows deep insights into the behaviour of the real process.
Method
The equipment includes student experiments in the laboratory with non-hazardous low voltage. Experimental procedures are carried out using a manual in printed or electronic form.
