Control system of elevator

Project description

The project of an automatic control system for lifting a cradle for moving bulk cargo. It was developed on the basis of laboratory work number 6 on the course "Theory of automatic control". The project includes Simulink models, testing system and automated scripts.

Installation and launch

• Open MATLAB
• Open the project file ElevatorControlSystem.prj
• The project will perform initialization automatically

Testing

There are 2 tests implemented in the project:

1. Stabilization time test (test_settling_time.m), which verifies that the system reaches the target speed in a given time.
2. Overshoot test (test_overshoot.m), which verifies that overshoot does not exceed the allowed value.

The corresponding parameters can be configured in the tests themselves.

Shortcuts

The following shortcuts are available in the Project Management group:

• Start — Initialize the project and load constants
• Open Control System Model — Open the system management model
• Exit — Exit the project
• Clean — Cleaning temporary files

Launch Features

• Before the first launch, make sure that all project paths are added to the MATLAB path.
• For correct testing, it is necessary to configure signal logging in Simulink models - the speed signal must be named speed.
• If errors occur:
  • Run clear_trash.m to clear temporary files;
  • Restart the initialization of startup().

System requirements

• MATLAB R2023a or later

• Simulink

• Control System Toolbox
