Nvis 630 Data Acquisition Card
Nvis 630 Data Acquisition System is very useful for sensing and controlling Analog
and Digital signals for any process. It facilitates the interfacing of real world signals
with PC through USB bus. Screw terminals are provided for easing connections. All
pins are multi-functional and user can change the operation of selected pins as per the
requirement.
A control system is a device, or set of devices, that manages, commands, directs or
regulates the behavior of other device or system. It is an interconnection of
components forming a system configuration that will provide a desired system
response. The basis for analysis of a system is the foundation provided by linear
system, which assumes a cause-effect relationship for the components of a system. A
component or process to be controlled can be represented by a block as shown in
below Figure.
Terminologies used in Control System:
Set Point: A preset value such as a specific speed or position that the control system
is supposed to reach. It is also known as the target value.
Process Variable: The actual value detected by a sensor as a process is taking place.
It is also known as the feedback signal.
Error: The difference between the set point & the previous value. When errors are
detected, the controller sends instructions to the control system to adjust the output to
compensate.
Feedback signal: The actual value detected by a Sensor as a process is taking place.
The feedback signal is part of a closed-loop Control System.
Automatic Feedback: Feedback that is controlled by an electronic or
electromechanical mechanism rather than a person.
Controller: The main device that processes information & carries out instructions in
a Robot. It is also known as the CPU, or processor.
Controller Tuning: A system of adjusting the Controller’s response to error by
adjusting values in the PID algorithm.
Gain: The ability of the Control System to increase the power or amplitude of its
signal.
PID Control: One of the most common types of Process Control. PID adjusts system
outputs when there is a difference between the Set Point & process variable.
Types of control system:
· Open loop Control System (without feedback)
· Closed loop Control System (Feedback)
· Open-loop Control System (without feedback):
An open-loop controller, also called a non-feedback controller, is a type of controller which
computes its input into a system using only the current state and its model of the system.
A characteristic of the open-loop controller is that it does not use feedback to determine if its
output has achieved the desired goal of the input. This means that the system does not observe
the output of the processes that it is controlling. Consequently, a true open-loop system can not
engage in machine learning and also cannot correct any errors that it could make. It also may
not compensate for disturbances in the system. As shown in below figure
Closed-loop Control System (Feedback):
Close loop control systems use the open loop systems (as forward path)
and feedback from the output to decide the input level to the open loop
system. And because the input is decided based on how much away the
output is from the desired level, the non idealities in forward path do not
degrade the system performance. The accuracy of the output thus depends
on the feedback path, which in general can be made very accurate. As
shown in below figure.
Block Diagram:
Block diagrams are ways of representing relationships between signals in a system.
Here is a block diagram of a typical control system. Each block in the block diagram
establishes a relationship between signals
