Abstract

This paper uses a temperature control education system called TCLab to apply three different closed-loop tuning methods to evaluate the use of this instrument as a tool for students to obtain a more realistic experience in the operation of controllers in the industry. The TCLab system is an Arduino-based system used in several control system applications. The closed-loop tuning methods are Ziegler-Nichlos, relay, and good gain. Furthermore, several tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the tuning parameters obtained from the earlier methods. To the best of our knowledge, this device has been used for this objective for the first time.
