Industrial Processes' Identification Using Virtual Instrumentation

Abstract

In this paper the experimental identification problem of industrial processes is presented, in order to establish their mathematical models which permit the adoption of an automation solutions and the specification of a suitable control law respectively. With this aim in view, the authors were resorted to using Virtual Instrumentation with the aid of the Lab VIEW development medium. In order to solve the problem of acquisition and processing data from physical real processes, Virtual Instruments was designed and realized which provide in the end a mathematical model which is based on choosing the automation equipment of the aim followed. The realized Virtual Instruments gave the opportunity to be used either in student instruction field with the virtual processes identification techniques or to put the identification of some real processes to good use of diverse beneficiaries. The results of some experimental attempts which was realized on different thermal processes illustrates the utility of the demarches performed in this paper.
