NI Inverted Pendulum Lab

NI Inverted Pendulum Lab

The NI Inverted Pendulum Lab considerably increases the value of your investment in NI
ELVIS II+ and NI LabVIEW graphical programming software. Designed to connect easily to
the NI ELVIS II+ Workstation in place of the standard prototype board, the cost-effective,
plug-and-play boards of the Lab significantly extend the functionality of the NI Platform.

With this Lab students can perform the classic inverted pendulum control experiment using
NI ELVIS and NI LabVIEW. They can balance a vertical rod at the tip of a rotating arm using a
DC motor. A wide range of control experiments featuring hardware-in-the-loop operation can
also be conducted using this Lab. This provides students a hands-on, practical experience of
engineering concepts.

The plug-and-play feature of the NI Inverted Pendulum Lab makes it easy to setup and allows
you to switch experiments in a matter of minutes, resulting in optimal use of your facilities.
