PLX-28156 Parallax Industrial Control Parts and Text, v1.1(non soldering programmable kit)
The 198-page industrial control text is an educational tutorial on process control with the BASIC Stamp. Methods of process control (on-off, differential gap, proportional, integral and derivative) are demonstrated in detail using a simple desktop heater system consisting of a film cannister with a temperature sensor (LM34 probe) and a heat (1/2 watt 47 ohm resistor). Heating drive is altered to demonstrate each concept. A fan provides an external disturbance to the closed-loop system. The use of high-voltage electricity to achieve the same concepts is also explained using solid-state relays. A key benefit of the text is that it uses StampPlot Lite as a graphic and datalogging utility for each experiment.Parallax's new Industrial Control 1.1 is an improved educational tutorial for process control. The new 1.1 version has improved explanations and additional chapters on time-stamping data and datalogging. The 264-page industrial control text is an educational tutorial on process control with the BASIC Stamp.
