Process Control Simulator

[TOMAS CABRERA]

I would like to build Process Control Simulator Virtual for my University. I know LABVIEW has an example PID Control Level, In these example I see the level is moving (going up and going down ) I want to do some similar with feedback control, feedfoward control and cascada PID control, I mean level going up an going down, parametres Kp, Ti and Td, Graphips (manipulated variable vs. controlled variable), Controller in manual mode and automatic mode. I´ve read that I can do that with LABVIEW SIMULATOR MODULE but I don´t have experiencee using LABVIEW. I have Transfers Functions but I don´t know how begin. I will show you the first project I want to do.

Thanks for all you support you are going to give me

Best Regards

Tomas, Thank you for contacting NI. Please refer the tutorial in the link below. It will give you a good start how the PID toolkit works. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/d4748f0d59cf436d8625702700809ef4 Regards, Ame G. National Instruments

Hola Thomas,

I also want to let you know that the simulation you are trying to do would be much easier if you have the Simulation Module and the Control Design Toolkit. They are add-on to LabVIEW that allow you to do transfer functions and continuous simulation easily. For more information, you can try:

Please let me know if we can help you more to understand those products.
