Experimental Control System Workstations

Educational Control Products (ECP) provides advanced laboratory equipment for the study of feedback control systems. Each apparatus may be transformed into several dynamically distinct plants so that one system does the work of many. Most systems can be easily reconfigured for simple SISO to complex MIMO operation. A high-speed I/O control board and powerful GUI-driven interface software allow you to efficiently implement virtually any controller and easily maneuver the system through trajectories to characterize performance. Experiments are provided that cover important introductory through intermediate control system principles and include complete instructor solutions. The systems are used for teaching and research in over 400 universities and industrial sites worldwide. They are used extensively in undergraduate control systems laboratories as well as graduate research and industrial motion control training.
