    Practical Exercise 10: Level Control Loops (On/Off)

    Uploaded by

    Philip Cueto
    The document discusses an experiment on level control using an on/off controller. The objective is to select a desired level value and use a controller to adjust the solenoid valves and pump to maintain that level. The interface connects to the equipment and control software, which allows selecting the on/off control option. The experiment involves selecting the desired flow and varying parameters like tolerance and performance time to observe their effects. The on/off controller acts as a security system, activating when the controlled variable exceeds the set value plus tolerance. After conducting the experiment, conclusions are that the on/off controller provides acceptable control of the level variable, with better results obtained using small tolerances and performance times.

    Practical Exercise 10: Level Control Loops (On/Off)

    The main objective of this practice is to carry out a closed loop control by an on/off
    controller. The student will select a value wanted for the level, and the controller will adjust this
    control by the closing and opening of the solenoid valve AVS-1, AVS-2, AVS-3 and the
    activation of pump 2.
    The interface is connected to the equipment and the control software. Inside the software,
    the control on/off option is to be selected.
    In this experiment, we are to select the desired flow by double clicking the on/off control.
    The program allows the user to vary the parameters of certain flow, tolerance and performance
    time to see the influence and difference of each one. The level control can be carried out by the
    activation of a single actuator, or of several ones, to which different tolerances are allowed.
    When the controlled variable exceeds in a tolerance the set value, these controllers works as a
    measure security system. To be able to activate and disable each one of these controllers, you
    have to double click on each one of them and press the button PAUSE. And before an on/off
    response you must calculate the inertia of the system and determine the limit time for an exact
    control.
    After doing the experiment, we can conclude from the results obtained by the on/off
    control on the variable level, we can confirm that the controller used has an acceptable result, it
    is because of the variation of magnitude under a small interference is slow. We can obtain a level
    control close to the set value if we take small values in the performance times and in the
    tolerances.
