Week #14: (4/26-30) Parallax Process Control - Week #6.

Post by rjagodowski »

This week you should be finishing up the last exercises with the incubator circuit. Continue working using this circuit and associated programs and macros until you have finished ALL of the incubator exercises. Make sure to take at least one screenshot of every StampPlot Macro plot and post it on the forums.

From your results over the past several weeks, some of the learning objectives presented from these exercises include:

a.) Using the same hardware (incubator circuit), the operation can be improved by software improvements & advancements.
b.) Demonstration of a variety of control systems from simple On/Off to PID Control.
c.) "Virtual Controls" - virtual switches, lights, meters, etc. allowing control from the PC screen. (Similar to HMI control on PLCs.)
d.) Data Acquisition - the BS2 was used to not only control the incubator, but data was collected, saved & plotted as well.
e.) BS2 calculations of advanced math operations (differentiation & integration) using mathematical approximations.
