Development of a Three-tank Computer-controlled Simulation and Experimental System

Three-tank,a typical nonlinear,strong coupling,multivariable and time delay object,has wide industrial applications.Besides,it is an important experiment instrument in automation and related professional teaching.However,the three-tank experimental devices are usually large,expensive,making simulation and actual application un-compatible.To solve this problem,a three-tank computer-controlled simulation and experimental system was developed using the Matlab GUI software development.Meanwhile,various types of relatively simple and complex control experiments can also be designed.The system has the advantages of small volume,complete functions,friendly interface,algorithm open,simulation and practical application of combined features.
