Computerized Flow Control Trainer

The Trainer provides a comprehensive experimental introduction to the fundamentals of control engineering using an example of flow control.
A pump delivers water from a storage tank through a piping system.  
The flow rate is measured by an electromagnetic sensor, which permits further processing of the measured value by outputting a standardized current signal.  
A Rota meter indicates the flow rate.  
The controller used is a state-of-the-art digital industrial controller.
The actuator in the control loop is a control valve with electric motor operation.
A ball valve in the outlet line enables defined disturbance variables to be generated.
The controlled variable X and the manipulating variable Y are plotted directly on an integrated 2-channel line recorder.
Alternatively, the variables can be tapped as analogue signals at lab jacks on the switch cabinet.
This enables external recording equipment, such as an oscilloscope or a flatbed plotter, to be connected.
