Course Overview

National Instruments offers several tools for professors, researchers, and students to analyze and simulate dynamic systems and design and deploy control systems. These tools help students gain a better understanding of linear systems and control design concepts by facilitating a hands-on, experiential learning environment that is flexible and interactive in nature.

This 3 hour short course is designed as an instructor led and self study introduction to the control design process.  This includes modeling, designing a controller, simulating the controller, and deploying a controller using LabVIEW, the Control Design Toolkit and the Simulation Module.  

The course includes a presentation, manual, exercises, and solutions.  

Course Outline

  1. Review - Review of LabVIEW Basics
  2. Modeling – Identify a mathematical representation of the plant
  3. Control Design – Choose a control method and design a controller
  4. Simulation – Employ a point-by-point approach to simulate the system timing with a solver
  5. Tuning and Verification – Introduce real-world nonlinearities, tune, and verify the control algorithm
  6. Deployment – Implement the finalized control system
