Closed-Loop Automation System for Real-Time Fluid Dynamics Management
This repository hosts a high-reliability Process Control Engine developed in NI LabVIEW. The system implements a complete automation cycle for tank level management, focusing on stability, noise reduction in data acquisition, and precise actuator response.
It demonstrates a modular architecture where data flow is strictly decoupled: Acquisition ➡️ Processing (PID) ➡️ Actuation.
The front panel below is the core interface of the system, showcasing real-time telemetry, historical trends, and control parameters. This visualization proves the successful implementation of the closed-loop strategy.
- Real-time Level Tracking: Visual chart showing the current level (
Process Variable) converging toward the desired level (Set-Point). - PID Parameter Access: Live tuning interface for Proportional, Integral, and Derivative gains.
- Dynamic Actuator Status: Instant feedback on pump and valve activation states.
- Manual/Auto Modes: Switch for testing actuators directly or engaging the AI-driven PID.
The system operates on a classic Closed-Loop (Feedback) control strategy:
