Development of control systems kit for study of PID controller in the framework of cyber-physical systems

Abstract

Control systems kit for studying the PID principles was developed using affordable microcontroller Arduino UNO and ARM Mini PC Raspberry Pi 3 Model B as well as GK802V5LE. PID algorithm in JavaScript/ECMAScript is provided. The concept of the Cyber-physical System is addressed and the possibility to extend the classical control system paradigm. A detailed description of the system structure is provided as well as the layout of the user interface, which enables us to monitor the key parameters of the PID control algorithm in real-time. Nodejs was used on the server-side as well as WebSockets for the communication between client and server. The proposed platform is suitable for rapid prototyping in the area of Cyber-physical Systems and the Internet of Things.
