NEW VIRTUAL INTERNET LABORATORIES PRESENTING ADVANCED CONTROL SCHEMES
Presenter(s): Cech, Martin

Abstract

In authors’ previous work a new technique of automatic generation of Java simulation cores directly from Matlab/Simulink editor was presented. Based on this technique, a set of new virtual laboratories was created. The laboratories deal with advanced control schemes suited for industrial practice. In this paper the following labs are described: PSMPC Demo presenting a simple pulse step predictive controller, PWM Demo demonstrating a basic PID loop with pulse-width modulation, MAN AUT MODES Demo introducing a bump-less switching of controller modes and parameters, PIDMA Demo illustrating all features of the unique PID moment autotuner, SMITH PREDICTOR Demo explaining how to extend the basic PID controller when controlling processes with significant dead-time. Note that all of these schemes can be run on several real time platforms preserving all block names, algorithms and parameters. All labs will be freely accessible from the main page of the department’s virtual laboratory. The authors believe that the set of new labs will help to keep the students in touch with practical problems.

PHYSICAL MODELS FOR TEACHING PROCESS SUPPORT IN THE REAL-TIME SYSTEMS LABORATORY
Presenter(s): Not defined.

Abstract

This chapter describes industrial plants physical models utilized in teaching process for verification of control programmes developed by students. The models were designed having in mind simplicity of their structure allowing their assembly in a local teaching process support workshop, as well as their durability. From a large number of developed models three are described in this chapter as illustrative examples: 1. The model employing a stepper motor – allows verification of software solutions eliminating the influence of rotor position oscillations after a step on the control quality. 2. The model of a flat elements feeder positioning material by means of a stepper motor at a set distance from the base point with half stepping resolution (0,268 mm). 3. The model of a conveying system of three belt conveyors. The described models enable a wide range of lab experiments in industrial controllers programming from simple logic or sequence controls to position controls comprising arithmetic operations on „integer” and „real” variables.

Using a Real-Time Groupware in the Educational Process
Presenter(s): Smutny, Pavel

Abstract

Groupware is a concept for organization’s or team’s collaboration using shared workspace. This workspace contains various types of data which are shared and edited by group of people. Google Wave is real-time groupware which combines features of email, collaborative office suit, wiki system, web chat or conference, social network and language translator. It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by extensions. Google Wave is not only web-based collaborative real-time groupware application but also computing platform, and communications protocol. This contribution describes how to use a real-time groupware in educational process.
