Process control is a key area in any study of automation.
With this model series, GUNT offers six systems providing an introduction to the fundamentals of process control through the use of experimentation. Software plays a key role as an integral component of the equipment concept, in the sense of hardware / software integration (HSI). It relieves students from routine activities and supports interactive action when they are experimenting with new approaches.
The effects of changes to control parameters or disturbance variables on the system behaviour can be investigated quickly and easily. In contrast to purely computer-based simulation, these actual models of controlled systems provide a closer link to the real world, and so aid understanding.
The network capability of the software enables teacher / student systems to be established.
