Precision Modular Control Workshop

System

The Precision Modular Servo Workshop provides a rapid and direct path from control system design to hardware implementation. The resolution and accuracy of the system and the consistency of it‘s performance, makes the Precision Modular Servo Workshop ideal for serious study of digital linear servo control systems. As well as allowing study of digital control the Precision Modular Servo Workshop also provides a complete introduction to servos, from fundamental studies of analogue servos through to full, real-time digital control. It is fully supported with laboratory assignments which have been designed to give students a full understanding of the control paths within the equipment.

The equipment set incorporates student experiments which can be carried out in a laboratory safely using safety extra-low voltage. Experiment instructions are contained in a manual in either printed or digital form.

A MATLAB™ license is required for this trial and is not included in the scope of delivery.
The equipment can require additional software modules.

Target Group

A training program made for the advanced training study programs at applied technology universities and technical universities. Knowledge of classic control engineering is a prerequisite.
