BALLBEAM demonstrates Proportional-Derivative (PD) control as applied to a ball and beam demonstration experiment. Execute by calling with no arguments.P and PD controllers are implemented which manipulates the beam angle in response to the position of the ball on the beam. The setpoint is indicated by the red marker, and is adjusted using the slider at the bottom of the figure. The control gain, Kc, and the Derivative Time constant, Td, are adjusted by a sliders located in the right hand control panel.This demo has been tested on Matlab 5.3 and Matlab 6.0. Some of the user interface code was shamelessly ripped out of the standard Matlab demos.
ballbeam is a Matlab script for Controls and Systems Modeling scripts design by Jeff Kantor.
It runs on following operating system: Windows / Linux / Mac OS / BSD / Solaris.
