Regulace výukového modelu levitujícího míčku s řídicím systémem REXYGEN

Abstract

This thesis verifies the practical applicability of theoretical knowledge from the field of cybernetics and automatic control through its implementation on a real physical model. For this purpose, the educational FloatShield system, representing a levitating ball controlled by an air stream, was used. The device was first assembled from individual components, soldered, and mechanically completed. Owing to its low cost and open design, FloatShield represents a suitable tool for teaching control engineering principles and demonstrating feedback control methods, for example by means of a PI controller. The ball height control was first implemented in the Arduino IDE environment, and the controlled system was subsequently implemented in the REXYGEN environment. Using the RexDuino interface between REXYGEN and Arduino, a control algorithm was designed, simulated, and tested. Finally, a visualization was created and the control algorithm was verified on the physical model.
