Closed-loop Position & Angle (Inverted Pendulum) Control Trainer
The ever increasing degree of automation affecting processes in all areas of industry necessitates a variety of control strategies and algorithms. The training system on positioning and angular controlled systems contains a broad spectrum of training material designed for the vivid and engaging teaching of everything from classic automatic positioning control with standard controllers all the way to model-based multivariable control in state space. A unique challenge is posed by oscillating and balancing a pendulum rod (inverted pendulum) that is pivot-mounted on a carriage that is subject to purely horizontal acceleration. The principle can also be applied to the automatic control of the Segway PT.
