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 Ahmed Al Bayati.

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.

Print and bring the lab manual to the lab. It will be signed when you have passed the lab. It will act as your evidence that you have done the lab.

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.
