Abstract. This paper deals with the magnetic levitation control
system of a metallic sphere, which is an interesting and visually impressive
equipment for demonstrating many intricate problems. In order to stimulate
future research, after short description of the system operation in analogue
and digital mode, several open problems in areas of electrical and control
engineering are offered. Also, the paper presents some initial outcomes
in creating a laboratory environment for remote monitoring of the magnetic
levitation equipment.
Key Words: magnetic levitation equipment, control engineering
education, control in MATLAB® environment, real time control, remote control
SISTEM MAGNETNE LEVITACIJE U OBRAZOVANJU
INŽENJERA AUTOMATIKE
U radu je prikazan sistem magnetne levitacije metalne sfere koji predstavlja
interesantnu i vizuelno impresivnu opremu za demonstraciju mnogih kompleksnih
problema. U cilju stimulacije budućih istraživanja, posle kraćeg opisa
rada ovog sistema u analognom i digitalnom modu, ukazano je na nekoliko
otvorenih problema iz oblasti elektrotehnike i automatskog upravljanja.
