Control Systems and Control Theory are contemporary subjects taught as part of the Circuit branches.
Traditionally, teaching these subjects involves the use of mathematical modeling of control systems
and simulation software to visualize time and frequency domain characteristics. However, as control
systems continue to evolve conceptually and technologically with the adoption of embedded systems,
it is important that Controls Laboratories in colleges comprise of stands that enable experiential
learning. NI Controls Lab Series enables researchers to perform further advanced research and students
to perform their final year project work in measurement related applications in college.
Using the NI Controls Lab Series it is possible to design and validate both simple control systems like LTI
and complex, adaptive control systems. National Instruments offers tools to simulate and analyze
dynamic systems as well as design, prototype and deploy modern control systems to low-cost hardware
targets. From simulation to reconfigurable I/O, National Instruments’ tools help you better teach and
learn Control Design and Mechatronics.
The NI Controls Lab Series, consisting of Control Design and Simulation tools, delivers a high-
performance platform for hands-on learning and pioneering research. With these tools you can:
General concepts and definitions: control systems components, classification of dynamical systems,
?
open and closed loop control, relevant properties of Laplace and Z transforms.
Transfer Functions: Continuous, discrete, block diagrams, from continuous to discrete systems
?
(discretization) techniques.
