APPLICATION OF A COMPACT MODEL OF AN ELEVATOR FOR EDUCATIONAL AND RESEACH PURPOSES

Designing of automatic control systems of multiplex technological complex demands not only theoretical algorithm development using a mathematical model, but a large amount of experimental work using physical workbenches, which should have modern equipment. Curriculum of Moscow Power Engineering institute (Technical University) offers both of these stages in its education. A lot of technological objects have large sizes and high cost, so conducting experimental work could be very difficult on real objects, and sometimes becomes even impossible. In that case, compact models are used for education and experimental work, at the some time actuating devices and controllers allow to debug real control program. In this paper a description of a compact model of a passenger elevator and control structure are given. The model of the passenger elevator is used by students and engineers in order to make new control programs.
