CONTROL SYSTEMS LABORATORY

LAB IN-CHARGE:Sri N.Chinna Kotaiah
LAB TECHNICIAN: Sri M Siva Kumar
LABORATORY AREA: 110 sq. meters

The design of automatic control systems now a days requires a great deal of theoretical knowledge. The consequence of this fact is that a large number of new concepts have to be introduced in control systems course. However, these concepts are in general introduced somehow independently and this poses serious problems when the students are required to deal with the whole design of a control system. This control systems laboratory is equipped with experiments such that all the stages of a control system design, namely modeling/identification, design/simulation and implementation are covered.

Control Systems Lab focus on technical implementation issues of classical control theory in the frequency domain and modern control theory in the state-space. This laboratory is having different setups for the study of various topics of control systems, starting from old setups like synchro transmitter and receivers, magnetic amplifier to the modern PID controllers. In addition, the lab has stepper motor unit, Phase lead and lag compensator, AC servo motor, DC servo motor, AC position control trainer and DC position control trainer. The second order transfer function can be simulated using operational amplifier kit. The transfer function of DC generator and DC motor can be obtained experimentally by using the experimental set up along with controllers. This lab is useful for the students for the design projects related to various controllers like Proportional,Proportional Integral and Proportional IntegralDerivative. This lab is also useful for doing mini project with various mimics of PLC controller. The temperature control system is analyzed by means of the temperature control device for the lamp arrangement. The response of the second order system can be obtained in time domain and frequency domain operations with necessary control models.
