RYC/B PID Control and Regulation Fundamentals Unit

The regulation of dynamic systems is a fundamental component of engineering, as it allows process variables to be maintained within desired limits despite external disturbances or internal changes. To achieve this, control strategies such as the PID controller are used, whose effectiveness depends on proper parameter tuning and a deep understanding of the system’s behavior.

The PID Control and Regulation Fundamentals Unit, "RYC/B", designed by EDIBON, enables users to study the core principles of automatic control in a practical and accessible way, focusing on first- and second-order systems. Thanks to its modular design, this unit facilitates detailed analysis of dynamic system responses to different input signals, as well as hands-on implementation of proportional, integral, and derivative control actions.

The "RYC/B" is divided into three main sections:

• A reference signal generator, which provides step, ramp, and sine wave inputs, all adjustable in amplitude and frequency.
• A configurable PID controller, which allows users to manually adjust the key control parameters proportional gain (Kp), integral time (Ti), and derivative time (Td) with optimized ranges for analyzing each control action individually or in combination.
• A set of dynamic systems, simulating real-world first- and second-order process behavior, enabling evaluation of system responses under different control configurations.

The unit also includes a power supply, protection fuses, and a functional block diagram displayed on the front panel to help users visualize and understand the control process.

It comes complete with all necessary cables and accessories, along with a comprehensive set of manuals covering installation, safety, maintenance, and a detailed practical guide.

As an additional element for the correct display of the signals and their response, it is recommended to use the 70 MHz Dual-Channel Digital Oscilloscope, "MED87" (not included).

The "RYC/B" is an ideal solution for introducing technicians and future engineers to the fundamentals and analysis of control systems, offering a hands-on, real-world experience with essential concepts that form the backbone of modern automation.
