A level training set with both a computer-based control and a compact controller

In engineering education, the combination with theoretical education and practical education is an essential problem. The taught knowledge can be quickly forgotten without an experimental application. In addition, the theoretical knowledge’s cannot be easily associated applications by students when they start working in industry. To eliminate these problems, a number of education tools have been developed in engineering education. This article presents a modelling, simulation and practice study of a newly designed liquid level training set developed for the control engineering students to simulate, examine and analyze theoretically and experimentally the controllers widely used in the control of many industrial processes. The newly designed training set combines two control structures, which are a computer-based control and a digital signal processing-based control. The set displays the results related to experiments in real time as well as. These features have made it a suitable laboratory component on which the students can both simulate and test the performance of liquid level control systems by using theoretical different control structures.
