Control Design Toolkit in LabVIEW

1. Objective:
The activity aims to create models, simulation and analysis using control design toolkit in LabVIEW.
2. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs):
The students shall be able to:
2.1 Create s-transfer functions and simulate frequency response using LabVIEW.
2.2 Create standard transfer function using matlab.
3. Discussion:
The Model Construction palette contains several functions for creating models. The resulting model is
represented as a cluster. This cluster can be used as input argument to other functions, e.g. for simulation,
frequency response analysis, etc.
On the Model Construction palette there are also functions for displaying the transfer function nicely on the
front panel.
Once the model is created, you can simulate it using functions on the Time Response palette, and you can
perform analysis, for example frequency response analysis using functions on the Frequency Response
palette. Note that these simulation and analysis functions can be used on both continuous-time models and
discrete-time models.
The CD Construct Transfer Function Model function (CD means Control Design) (on the Model
Construction palette) defines a transfer function.
The CD Draw Transfer Function function (on the Model Construction palette) displays the transfer
function nicely in on the front panel (using a picture indicator which can be created by right-clicking
on the Equation output of the function).
The CD Step Response function (on the Time Response palette) simulated the step response,
assuming the input step has amplitude 1.
The CD Bode function (on the Frequency Response palette) plots the frequency response in a Bode
plot.
