Engineering educators and students who use either one find themselves working with a robust, optimized and integrated workstation that offers peace of mind, versatility and maximum efficiency.
Both labs come complete with all the components and peripherals you need. Taken together, those components and peripherals form a complete turn-key platform that will allow you to offer a broad, dynamic controls education. That platform consists of five key elements.
Quanser
Rapid Control Prototyping Toolkit for NI LabVIEW™
In terms of software, the turn-key controls platform
is based on National Instruments LabVIEW™ and the Rapid Control Prototyping
(RCP) Toolkit, a new LabVIEW™ add-on developed by Quanser. Designing and
deploying high performing controllers is an intuitive and straightforward process
with RCP Toolkit. Combined with the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation and
LabVIEW™ Mathscript RT Modules, Quanser RCP Toolkit is a powerful design tool
spanning the spectrum from simulation to implementation.
Pedagogical curriculum is provided with every
Rotary Servo workstation and most Linear Motion workstations. The curriculum covers a wide range of popular
control topics. Instructor and Student Workbooks come complete with pre-lab
assignments and in-lab, step by step instructions. These materials are designed
to save time on course development. Workbooks and comprehensive student
assignments are ready to use right out of the box.
Quanser
Experiment and Amplifier
To help your engineering students assimilate
controls theory and stay motivated, create a lab that offers many workstations
featuring either or both the Rotary Servo SRV02 Base Unit and Linear Servo Base Unit, along with different add-on modules. This allows you to cover a wider
range of control topics, from introductory to advanced, and expose students to
different hardware. Several voltage
amplifiers are available to support the experiments. Small, lightweight and
portable, they are ideal for all complex controls configurations related to
educational or research needs.
Quanser
Q1-cRIO Module
Quanser’s Q1-cRIO is a C Series data
acquisition and control module designed for NI CompactRIO. It offers a
convenient set of inputs and outputs that provides all channels required to
control all of Quanser’s experiments. Several other data acquisition and
interfacing options are available, targeting both NI CompactRIO and Microsoft
Windows® platforms.
National
Instruments CompactRIO
NI CompactRIO offers an embedded,
deterministic real-time platform on which control algorithms can be deployed,
and real-world signals interfaced to via the Quanser Q1-cRIO module.
Workstations for the Rotary Servo and Linear Motion Control Labs can also be
based on Windows® PC controllers.
Achieve a New Level of Efficiency and Effectiveness in Teaching Controls, Robotics and Mechatronics
Get
Your Lab Up and Running Immediately: Both Rotary Servo and Linear Motion Control
Labs based on this platform are designed for quick, repeated assembly and
disassembly. Plug and play connectors and provided cables allow students or lab
technicians to make fast, error-free connections when setting up a control
workstation. There is no need to strip wires or solder custom cables.
Quality
and Precision You Can Rely On: You can count on the workstation components
to perform semester after semester, even when handled by the most enthusiastic
students.
Ongoing
Tech Support: Whether
your lab requires months or years to complete, you can rely on support from
Quanser and National Instruments. Count on little or no downtime since the same
engineers who designed and built both Control Labs are available to offer rapid
assistance.
The
Right Partners: As
academic specialists, Quanser and National Instruments are uniquely placed to
help meet the challenges facing engineering faculties.
