    Uploaded by

    Henry Elvis Inga Ccenncho
    This document provides an overview of control and simulation in LabVIEW. It discusses installing LabVIEW and required modules. It then covers creating simulations using the Simulation Palette and Loop. Examples are provided on simulating a process and implementing PID control of the process in LabVIEW. The document recommends structuring simulations using subsystems and also discusses using a While Loop instead of the Simulation Loop.

    Check that you have
    all these pale:es

    LabVIEW Control and Simula.on Example

    We are going to learn to create such a system!

    Simula.on Example
    Students: Implement and Simulate
    this system in LabVIEW

    Simula.on Example - Congura.on


    In the example the following simula.on parameters could be used (right-click on the Simula.on
    Loop border and select Congure Simula.on parameters):

    Simula.on Example - Solu.ons

    Step Response

    We see the Step Response


    is as expected!

    PID Control in LabVIEW


    Alterna>ve 2:

    Alterna>ve 1:
    PID Pale:e in LabVIEW (PID Toolkit)

    Note! The func.ons PID.vi and PID Advanced.vi requires that Ti


    and Td is in minutes, while its normal to use seconds as the unit for
    these parameters. You can use the following piece of code in order
    to transform them:
    This means we entervalues for Ti and Td in secons on the Front
    Panel and the values are converted to minutes in the code.

    This alterna.ve
    uses seconds!

    PID Example

    Students: Replace u in the previous example with the built-in PID Controller
    (use Alterna.ve 2)

    PID Example - Solu.ons


    Front Panel:

    PID Example - Solu.ons

    PID Example Con.nuous Simula.on


    Right-click on the
    Simula.on Loop
    border and select
    Congure Simula.on
    Parameters

    Add a Stop Bu:on


    and a Halt
    Simula.on block

    Students: Run your Simula.on with these changes

    PID Example Con.nuous Simula.on - Solu.on

    Simula.on Subsystem
    A Way to structure your code, similar to SubVIs

    File -> New


    This is the recommended way to do it! You can easly reuse your
    Subsystems in dierent VIs and your code becomes more structured!

    Create a Subsystem of this part

    Students: Change your code above where you create a Simula.on Sub System
    for your Process

    Simula.on Subsystem - Solu.ons

    Simula.on Subsystem Solu.ons2

    Simula.on Sub Systems

    Now your code has become really


    simple to understand!

    Simula.ons using a While Loop


    The Simula.on Loop has some drawbacks/is more complicated to use than an
    ordinary While Loop. If we use simulata.on Subsystems, we can use them inside a
    While Loop instead!
    Simula.on Subsystems

    So for real applica.ons that involves more than just simula.ons, I recommend to
    use a While Loop instead of a Simula.on Loop.
