The laboratory plant consists of a heater and a fan, actuated by pulse-width modulation through high power MOSFET transistors and controlled from the Simulink environment by means of a virtual serial port established over a USB connection. This prototype has been designed and developed in our laboratory in the context of a Master’s thesis project with the main design goal being related to teaching. Thus, the plant can be used to simulate heating processes while the cooling fan may be regarded as a disturbance.
