Introduction The paper deals with summarizing for the last (third) year solving of the grant project GA ČR No. 102/03/0625 at the Department of Control Systems and Instrumentation 352 as a co-proposer with Institute of Informatics of Czech Science Academy. Fundamental part of university education creates connection between of theoretical or simulation approaches with experimental methods for verification of laboratory stands coincidence. Illustration of practical physical models properties is cardinal importance for engineering experimental exercises, for comparing of the computer simulation tasks with practical experiences and with real-time measured signals from the technological aggregates. 2. Design, production and utilization of experimental stands for teaching purposes Basic requirements for design and production of laboratory experimental stands were described in [SMUTNÝ 2004a, SMUTNÝ 2005c] with these main topics: * similarity of physical laboratory model with real industrial apparatus, * good dynamical responses of output signals, * miniaturization of dimensions and power input,, * unified input and output electrical signals, * good possibility of connection with PC computer, * easy production in condition of Department workshop, * availability of model function parts and their low price. On the Department of Control Systems and Instrumentation of VŠB-TU FME Ostrava were designed and produced at the last years quantity of laboratory experimental stands, models and education tools [SMUTNÝ, 2004a,b], [SMUTNÝ & ŠKUTA 2004b]. These stands there were utilized for practical exercises in subjects Measurement and Sensors, Means of Automatic Control, Microcomputer Measurement Systems, Design of Process Systems, Signal Processing, etc. On the next few figures we can see the main results of GACR project from FME VŠB TU Ostrava. It is a project realization output and there are shown the technical design (HW) and properties verification of the laboratory stand HAA (Hot-Air Aggregate) as a physical model of air-conditioning and examples of program support (SW) for easy utilization of models at education tasks. On the Figure 1 and Figure 2 we can see a block schema or 3D computer model of experimental laboratory model HAA new variation from year 2005. This model can be used for two control variables (temperature and air flow) with adjusted disturbances (second ventilator with opposite flow direction). On the Figure 3 and Figure 4 there are photo documentation of real experimental laboratory model HAA 2005 on the final mobile version with transport case and its connection with PC computer by miniature microprocessor unit CTRL V3.

Figure 3 Photo of final version of experimental model HAA2005 in mobile form with transport case (5 prototypes was produced) Figure 4 Final version of HAA2005 with two ventilators, external power unit, new electronic unit CTRL V3 and with its connection to PC 3. Program support of control tasks with model HAA2005 Programs support solving of measuring and control HAA tasks, with personal computer PC connection and with interface environment unit (new CTRL V3 or analog/digital card AD 512). In the project there were designed a innovative program module WinCTRL in versions 2.0 and 2.1 [SMUTNÝ, 2004a, b] for Real-Time control of two values (temperature, air-flow) with 4 basic types of control algorithms (On-Off, On-Off with penalization, PID, Fuzzy control). The next program module was designed on MATLAB-SIMULINK simulation system. It allows solved the experimental identification of dynamic system properties, it contains 16 synthesis methods for PID controller algorithms and support of method of aggregation variables [Wagnerová 2005]. On the next figures we can see the programs screens with air-flow control task (Figure 5) and robust control with method of aggregation variables (Figure 6).

Conclusions Figure 8 The chart with 2 controlled values by WinCTRL program (by fuzzy control) Fundamental part of university education creates connection of theoretical approaches with experimental or simulation methods for verification of coincidence. Experimental stands allow easy understanding to principles of industrial plant parts, measurement and control devices, signals character, noise, dynamic responses and easier crossing to the real technological systems. The HAA model (Hot-air aggregate), as an air handler (airconditioning), it is a dynamic system with multiple inputs and outputs. The two basic controlled outputs (action values from controller) are the power of the bulb and power to the main fan (ventilator). Measured inputs to CTRL module from TVA there are signals from one of the temperature transducers (by this position of 3 sensors the time delay of the system is

changed), photo resistor sensor and from axial air-flow meter. As disturbances of lab stand can use the secondary fan with opposite air flow direction (the complementary action value). Project contributes to development of new experimental models and to getting new knowledge related to automatic control theory and practice. Another contribution lies in the deeper cooperation of proposing universities and institutes. 5. References [1] SMUTNÝ, L. 2004a.
