Techteach - No Simview Gain Index

The document describes a simulator that models a gain system. The simulator executable file can be downloaded and run. The simulator models the relationship between an input variable u and output variable y, where y(t) = K*u(t), with no dynamics between input and output. The simulator aims to provide insight into the non-dynamic behavior of a gain. Common real-world examples of gains are also provided such as control valves and sensors. The document includes tasks for using the simulator to observe how the output varies with different gain values and input signals.

What is needed to run the the simulator? Read to get most recent information!
Tips for using the simulator.
The simulator: gain.exe (click to download). The simulator runs immediately after the
download by clicking Open in the download window. Alternatively, you can first save a
copy of the exe-file on any directory (folder) on your PC and then run the exe-file, which
starts the simulator.

Description of the simulated system


The simulator simulates a gain having the gain K as its parameter. The relation between the
input variable, u, and the output variable, y, is:
y(t) = K*u(t)
There is no dynamics (that is, no time-dependent relation) between the output and the input.

The aims of the simulator is to give insight into the non-dynamic behaviour of a gain.

Motivation
Many physical systems are approximately gains, e.g.:
A control valve where the valve control signal u gives approximately a proportional
valve opening z.
A tachometer (which is a rotational speed sensor for motors etc.) produces an output
voltage which is approximately proportional to speed.
A (very quick) motor where the rotational speed is approximately proportional to the
motor control signal.
The proportional term of a PID-controller, which is proportional to the control error.

Tasks
Start the simulator.
1. Adjust the gain K to any positive value. Adjust the input signal to any value. Observe
how the output value y varies. Is there any dynamic relation between the input and the
output?
2. Repeat Task 1, but with a negative K-value.
