Aluminium Alloy Rotary Inverted Pendulum

EMECS is a set of electro-mechanical devices for control engineering research and education. EMECS consists of modular mechanical and electrical hardware such that a variety of control experiments can be easily constructed and are suitable for all level of instruction. It is also sophisticated enough to provide a platform for investigating a variety of control related problems such as system modeling, system identification, linear control, nonlinear control, optimal control, haptic control, intelligent control, and switching control to name just a few. In addition to hardware, Simulink blocks for the experiments are provided to help users in control design and simulation. Furthermore, in Simulink environment, xPC Target™ provides a high performance host-target environment that enables you to connect your Simulink® and Stateflow® models to physical systems and execute them in real time on Micro-Box 2000/2000C. xPC Target includes proven capabilities for rapid prototyping, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and application deployment in an open hardware architecture. The required hardware and software are given below.
