Abstract:
The importance to educate control engineers is to make them experience the modern control theory by the actual devices instead of pure digital simulator. During these applications, students will face to every existing problem and digest the fruits of control theory by tangible impression. This paper reports the development of experiment devices for computer control engineering education, where a pendulum is controlled by a General Linux P/C through a DC motor every 1ms, realizing most kinds of advanced control schemes linked with free control CAD, Octave. Controlled examples with various schemes are reported.
