The ball & beam control system is a kind of education and experiment equipment, specially designed for courses in automatic control principle, modern control engineering, and electrical motor control. The control system designed with this experiment equipment is able to control the position of a stainless steel ball on the track by adjusting the rotating angle of a beam.
The Ball & Beam control system consists of two parts, namely the Ball & Beam body and the control system. The Ball & Beam body consists of a v-grooved steel bar and a free rolling ball. The linear sensor measures the position of the ball on the track by measuring the output voltage from the stainless steel bar. A DC motor is connects to a gear reducer, which controls the angle of beam, accordingly realize the position control of the ball.

The digital control system consists of an intelligent control module, which is a high precision, fully digital servo drive, with embedded intelligence, and a built-in 100W power amplifier. The drive is usd for brushless motors with sinusoidal or trapezoidal commutation, or DC brush motors. Programmable with the high-level Motion Language, the intelligent control module embeds on one board advanced motion control and PLC-specific functionality. Combined with a high-level Motion Language, a graphical platform for quick configuration, tuning and motion programming, the Intelligent Control module represents a flexible and easy way to implement solution for a wide range of applications. A user-friendly graphical control interface can visually show the results of the controller and all of the operating data.
- Real-time control interface are provided in MATLAB Simulink and LabVIEW, making it convenient to implement basic experiments and arithmetic studies.
