Industrial-Standard Control Teaching Laboratory with Reconfigurable Real-Time Architecture

9352734 Shor正在建立一个基于可重构实时vme总线架构的工业标准控制实验室，用于本科控制工程教学。这种新颖的实验室设置的动机是使设置既灵活的个人项目设计，也可以从远程站点访问。该体系结构的灵活性允许同时开发和测试多个项目，而不会相互干扰。vme总线体系结构允许项目共享vme总线设备，如数据采集板和实时控制器。此外，由于设备可以从网络访问，学生可以从远程站点开发他们的软件和算法，并利用可用的网络资源。这也使拟建的实验室方便残疾人使用。广泛的视频网络与实验室的网络可访问性一起，为实验室-课堂教学提供了交互式演示能力。这有助于开发分散式教室技术。实验室提供可靠的、现代化的、工业质量的设备，使学生熟悉当前的工业标准。这种高质量的设置使学生能够专注于控制非理想动力系统的挑战，并尝试创新的想法。一系列的实验旨在提高学生对数字控制的基本原理和挑战的理解。＊＊＊

9352734 Shor An industrial-standard control laboratory with reconfigurable real-time VME-bus-based architecture is being established for undergraduate control engineering instruction.The motivation for this novel proposed laboratory setup is to make the setting both flexible for individual project design and accessible from remote sites. The flexibility of the architecture permits multiple projects to be developed and tested concurrently without interfering with each other. The VME-bus architecture allows the projects to share VME-bus devices such as data- acquisition boards and real-time controllers. Further, since the equipment is accessible from the network, students may develop their software and algorithms from remote sites and take advantage of available network resources. This also makes the proposed laboratory accessible to persons who are disabled. The extensive video network together with the network accessibility of the laboratory, provides interactive demonstration capabilities for laboratory-classroom instruction. This contributes to the effort to develop decentralized classroom technology.The laboratory provides reliable, modern, industrial-quality equipment to familiarize the student with the current industrial standards. This quality setup enables the students to focus on the challenges of controlling non-ideal dynamical systems and to experiment with innovative ideas. A sequence of experiments is designed to improve student understanding of the basic principles and challenges of digital control. ***
