机械控制工程虚拟实验平台的开发研究

Development of Virtual Experimental Platform of Mechanical Control Engineering

开发了机械控制工程虚拟实验平台,该平台基于MATLAB,实现了开放性和功能软件的模块化,具有灵活的扩展性,并且实现了实验平台的网络化,用户即使在不掌握MATLAB/Simulink语言的情况下,通过Internet也可轻松完成实验。以"机械控制理论"虚拟实验系统为例介绍其开发原理、部分功能;并以PID调节器为例,对传统实验和虚拟实验进行了比较,体现了虚拟实验界面友好、操作方便且具有良好扩展性,便于学生创新能力的培养。

The paper develops a virtual experimental platform of mechanical control engineering. It realizes the opening and modularization of functional software based on MATLAB,and implements the experimental platform network. Users can complete their experiments easily by Internet without mastering the MATLAB/Simulink language. It introduces the developing principle and partial functions of the virtual experimental system about the ＂control theory for mechanical engineering＂. Taking the PID adjustor as an example, it shows the characteristics of virtual experiments in better interface and convenient handling through comparing with the traditional experiments. The experimental platform has the favorable expansibility, and is helpful to cultivate the creativity of the experimenter.
