Double Rotor MIMO

System

The dual rotor system demonstrates the principles of a non-linear MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) system with significant cross-coupling. The system behaves like a helicopter with fixed angles of attack of the rotors, where the aerodynamic forces are controlled by varying the speeds of both motors. There is a clear cross-coupling between the two axes, as each rotor exerts an influence on both angular positions. Suitable for MATLAB (not supplied). With detailed training documentation. The Advantech PCI card creates an impressive development environment for digital control. The user is guided through the design process and learns how to identify the system using phenomenological process models, dynamic analysis, discrete models, controller design, controller testing on the model, controller implementation in real-time applications, implementation of different control strategies and data visualisation.

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.

A MATLAB™ licence is required for this experiment and is not included in the scope of delivery

The equipment may require additional software modules.
