Step-by-Step Exploration of the Fundamentals of Control Engineering

FluidLab-PA Closed-Loop is an intuitive software platform designed to explore and demonstrate the core principles of control engineering in a structured and practical way.

The software enables measurement, control, and regulation of pressure, temperature, flow, and level control loops using either real or simulated hardware systems, including EduKit PA, MPS PA Compact Workstation, MPS PA Stations, and EDS Water Management systems.


Learning Objectives

  • Master the fundamental principles of control engineering
  • Apply control technology concepts in practical scenarios
  • Integrate hardware components into a complete control system
  • Customize system parameters (sensor values, signal attenuation, simulation modes)
  • Analyze and interpret process data

Key Advantages

  • Provides a realistic and interactive platform that immerses learners in real-world process control scenarios
  • Advanced visualization of complex continuous control and regulation systems
  • Enhances engagement through graphical documentation display and real-time system feedback
  • Customizable parameters to support individualized learning and experimentation
  • Seamless integration with physical training systems for hands-on experience



Additional Information

FluidLab-PA Closed-Loop offers a user-friendly environment for connecting learners to real process automation systems. Via the EasyPort interface, users can configure, monitor, operate, and control various training setups.

Users can adjust sensor values, modify analog signal scaling, and display physical values in different units to accurately reflect process conditions. The software also supports customization features such as reversing control directions, continuously tuning controller parameters, and selecting simulation modes.

Binary and analog data can be visualized and analyzed. Learners can record sensor characteristics and measure step responses. Zoom functions and validation tools support detailed data analysis while adjusting measurement channels and test durations.

The characteristic curve function enables analysis of control elements such as pumps and valves, illustrating how voltage influences pressure, flow, and level.

The setpoint controller menu focuses on level and temperature control systems, offering hands-on training opportunities.

For continuous control, learners can experiment with P, PI, PD, and PID controllers and observe immediate effects on the system. Control parameters, measurement data, and curve profiles can be documented using interactive function blocks.

The industrial control function simulates real process control environments. Users can define setpoints, configure warning limits, and switch between manual and automatic modes.

Finally, the simulation model reproduces realistic process sequences, supporting a deeper understanding of closed-loop control systems.
