You need the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module for this Task.
The
foundation
for
the
simulations
is
the
Control
&
Simulation
Loop,
which
is
located
in
the
upper
left
corner
in
the
Simulation
palette.
The
Control
&
Simulation
Loop
is
very
similar
to
an
ordinary
While
loop,
but
it
has
built-in
features
and
is
optimized
for
simulation
purposes.
It
is
recommended
that
you
watch
the
video
Simulation
Palette
Overview
(about
15
minutes)
by
Finn
Haugen
before
you
start
with
the
exercises.

LabVIEW Implementation:
We can easily implement this block diagram and plot the results in LabVIEW:
Lets set = 0.25 and = 2. When we run the simulation, we get the following results:
Simulation Parameters:
In
the
example
the
following
simulation
parameters
are
used
(right-click
on
the
Simulation
Loop
border
and
select
Configure
Simulation
parameters):
Transfer
Function:
We can also find the transfer function for the system using Laplace:
= + ()
() /
= = = =
() + 1 + 1 + 1
() 8
= =
() 4 + 1
From the plot above we see that this is correct ( = 8 and = !" = 4).
In
the
Continuous
Linear
Systems
palette
in
LabVIEW
we
have
a
block
for
defining
a
transfer
function:
Note! The order of the coefficients are different in LabVIEW and MathScript.
Try
with
different
values
for
and
and
see
whats
happen
are
the
results
according
to
the
theory
for
1.order
transfer
functions?

We
will
simulate
the
number
of
bacteria
in
the
jar
after
1
hour,
assuming
that
initially
there
are
100
bacteria
present.
Task
1.1
Draw
Block
Diagram
for
the
system
using
pen
and
paper.
Task
1.2
Simulate
the
system
in
LabVIEW,
where
you
follow
these
steps:
1. Start
LabVIEW
and
use
the
Control
and
Simulation
Loop
from
Control
Design
and
Simulation
Palette
in
LabVIEW
2. Drag
in
the
necessary
Blocks
from
the
palette
(including
the
plot).
3. Use
the
Connection
Wire
from
the
Tools
palette
and
draw
the
necessary
wires.
4. Configure

on
the

Task
2.1
Draw
Block
Diagram
for
the
system
using
pen
and
paper.
Task
2.2
Implement
and
simulate
the
system
in
LabVIEW.
Simulate and plot the position (), the velocity (), and the acceleration () in 3 different plots.
Then
try
to
set
= 10
and
see
the
difference.
Try
also
different
values
for
and
and
see
what
happens.
Try
to
explain
the
results.
Task
3.1
Run
the
example
and
see
how
it
is
implemented
and
how
it
works.
Task
3.2
Replace
the
function
PID.vi
with
the
more
advanced
function
PID
Advance.vi
instead.
Task
3.3
Change
!
and
!
so
the
unit
is
seconds
instead
of
minutes
on
your
Front
Panel
(User
Interface).
The
functions
PID.vi
and
PID
Advanced.vi
requires
that
!
and
!
is
in
minutes,
while
its
normal
to
use
seconds
as
the
unit
for
these
parameters.
You
can
use
the
following
piece
of
code
in
order
to
transform
them:
