Virtual air pressure tank system for open and closed loop simulation: article / Wan Nurhusna Auni Sulaiman

The purpose of this paper is to develop virtual air pressure tank system for open and closed loop simulation. The development of the system is accomplished via Gprogramming language potentialities of LabVIEW™ version 2011 running on ACER Intel Core™ i5-2430M 2.4GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.0GHZ, 4GB DDR3 computer with Window7 Home Premium operating system. The system is designed to mimic the air pressure control trainer model SOLTEQ SE121 which installed at the Process Control Laboratory, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UiTM Shah Alam. The system developed able to offer as a learning tool to help student more understand experimental work in which students able to differentiate between open loop and closed loop experiment as well as determine the process parameters before entering to the actual laboratory.
