To control level in a cylindrical tank process by manipulating the exit flow rate.
Description:
The process being simulated is a level control system of a liquid tank. The controller function
is PI (proportional plus integral), in the form of the LabVIEW PID Advanced function.
The mathematical model of the process to be controlled is based on mass balance of the
contents, which is water, in the tank. The mass balance is
The outflow Fout(t) is assumed to be the same as the pump control signal u(t) (both in unit of
m3/s) and is the manipulated variable.
Procedure:
Unless otherwise stated, all the default values of the parameters are given in the GUI.
