Recapacitação de um levitador magnético e controle via Matlab

Abstract

Since the growth of industrial automation area and control process in the actual market, the Control and Automation Engineering course need to sort capable materials to instruct with quality yours students, between those materials there is the control system. Therefore, in the Federal University of Uberlândia, was chosen one of those control systems to study and build up this work, the magnetic levitator. Considering the studies of Maglev, the magnetic levitator, was identified the need to improve its plant to allow a qualified instrumentalization of the process control laboratories, providing new possibilities of practical approaches to students and professors, including the utilization of new control techniques on its plants. Thus, was conceived a printed circuit board purchase data via the Matlab software, precisely the Simulink, by transmission through the Arduino Due. Hence, the board detailed study led to a non-linear and linear model of Maglev, its transfer function, and a discrete controller able to offer a satisfactory control system. Then, the Maglev parameters can be monitored in real time and foster the use of new control techniques on it.
