Pneumatics Lab
Overview
The Pneumatics Lab is a training equipment designed for the study of various circuits used in automated compressed air systems design. The supplied hands-on labs will help the students with the practical study of basic components and operating principles of compressed air systems. The lab is based on National Instruments Test & Measurement Equipment, permitting the students to design their own models of basic compressed air systems and test control algorithms in the LabVIEW graphical programming environment.
Required hardware and software
▪ NI cRIO platform
▪ 12 in. LabVIEW Touch Panel Computer
▪ Lab platform
▪ Compressor
▪ Lab software and user manual
