Lab 2 - Process Modelling and PID Controller Design
General
In lab 2 we return to the double water tank of lab 1. The purpose of this is to see if the mathematical tools and understanding that you have developed in the course can help you get a better result than when you were manually tuning control parameters in lab 1. It is also an opportunity for you to connect the placement of the poles of your process to the actual behavior of the process.
This lab is scheduled to weeks 4 and 5 of the course. Responsible is Marko Guberina.
Important: If you have any symptoms of Covid-19 (see symptom list in Swedish or English) at the time of your booked laboratory session, you must not attend it. In this case, contact the lab responsible by e-mail as soon as possible, and we will find a new time for you to perform the laboratory exercise.
Instructions
Instructions for the lab can be found here:
Registration
Registration starts 1 week before the first lab session, i.e. in course week 3. You register here:
The registration opens around lunch time on Tuesday Nov 15.
Preparation
Before the lab it is important that you read through the instructions. To be allowed to perform the lab you will also have to complete the preparatory exercises in the lab instructions.
Optional: Matlab Simulation
If you want to be extra well prepared for the lab session, or want to try out more experiments by yourself, you can use a Matlab simulation of the full lab process that is used in lab 1 and lab 2. Instructions for how to install and run it can be found here.
