EL 5000

System description
The EL-5000 is a mini-process for teaching electrodynamics, instrumentation, automation and control, designed to obtain similar characteristics to industrial processes.

The EL-5000 is designed to facilitate learning while stimulating interest, while remaining simple and inexpensive.

This system consists of a quality industrial blower, conduit as well as measuring and control devices: a flow meter, a pressure transmitter, a current measurement, a temperature measurement, a variable speed drive (drive) type vector two 4-20mA electrical components, engine and the necessary electrical equipment.

No need for water or compressed air.

The system allows to experiment:
 

Control loops

• Flow pressure
• Temperature
• Current (torque)
• Speed
• Strategy

Cascade

• Feedforward
• Override (priority)
• Split range
• Major-minor
• Adaptive gain

Energy

• Calculation
• Mass balance
• Mass flow
• Characterization output
• Fan curve
• Motor curve
• Torque

Sequences

• Start, stop
• Interlock
• Limitations and constraints
• Alarms

An affordable system of industrial quality that will interest both teachers and students.
