Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share the new Magnetic Levitation Control Lab Library for Proteus , the fourth of our University Lab series. A steel ball floating in mid-air under an electromagnet, held there by nothing but a controller, is one of the most striking experiments in a control course, and one of the most demanding. The magnet pulls harder the closer the ball comes, so the ball sits on a knife edge: a little too close and it snaps to the magnet, a little too far and it falls. The controller has to correct it hundreds of times a second. The same idea floats maglev trains and holds the shafts of magnetic bearings.

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share the new Ball and Beam PID Control Lab Library for Proteus , the third of our University Lab series. The ball and beam is the most famous unstable plant in control teaching: a ball rolls along a beam, a motor tilts the beam, and the controller has to bring the ball to a chosen spot and keep it there. Leave the beam alone for a moment and the ball rolls off the end. It is the experiment that shows, better than any other, why a controller needs its derivative term, and the same ideas balance robots, steer rockets and keep a camera level.
