Experiment 12.2 Objective: To use LabVIEW to design a controller and observer.
Minimum Required Software Packages: LabVIEW, the Control Design and Simulation Module, and the MathScript RT Module.
Prelab: Create a LabVIEW VI that will design the controller and observer for the Antenna Control Case Study in this chapter. Your VI will have the following inputs: phase - variable form of the plant, the controller poles, and the observer poles that meet the requirements. Your indicators will display the following: the phase-variable equation of the plant, whether or not the system is controllable, the observer canonical equation of the observer, and whether or not the system is observable. Also, provide the gains for the controller and the gains for the observer. Additionally, provide the impulse response and initial response curves shown in Figure 12.27. In addition, provide similar response curves for the state variables.
Lab: Run your VI and collect the data from which to compare the results of the case study with those found from your VI.
