LAB 02

Setting and Analyzing the Operating Point of Temperature Controlled System

Apparatus:
DC Power Supply, Voltmeter, Temperature Control Trainer, LUCAS_NULLEL@Soft.

Objective: The main objective of this lab is to find the operating point of temperature controlled
system with respect to the response of the system at reference point.

Theory:
The operating point is defined as the difference between the actual value and the reference value
.The temperature control system is composed of the following parts,

Input: The temperature control system has many inputs which are used to measure the variable
in the form of temperature.

Examples: RTD(resistive thermal device), thermo-couples,

Output:
The output shows the results of the given system. Different converters are used according to the
desire , in temperature control system a converter known as temperature-volatge controller is used
which converts the temperature into voltage which then shows on the output in the form of voltage.

Procedure:
1. Make the circuit according to the diagram, and initially set the potentiometer at the end of
the range, then activate the voltage source and voltmeter accordingly.
2. Apply DC voltage in a range of 0-10V
3. Set the potentiometer to zero value by rotating its nob
4. To the input Y=1/T.
5. Find the static output voltage Y=XT at zero reference point with zero potential difference.
6. When the potentiometer is brought to the middle point little fluctuations are observed and
the steady state graph along voltage axis is observed.
