Quanser Ball and Beam
Quanser Ball and Beam
Ball and Beam is a classic control theory experiment. This additional module can be mounted on the Rotary Servo Base Unit. It consists of a steel rod in parallel with a nickel-chromium, wire-wound resistor forming the track on which a metal ball is free to roll. . The position is read by measuring the resistance. The objective is to model the plant and design algorithm that will move the ball to desired position.
The kit includes all elements needed to quickly start the station: amplifier, controller, Matlab or LabVIEW module as well as educational materials for students.
