Process Control: Modeling, Design, and Simulation, 2nd Edition

Module 2

Introduction to SIMULINK

Although the standard MATLAB package is useful for linear systems analysis, SIMULINK is more useful for control-system simulation. SIMULINK enables the rapid construction and simulation of control block diagrams. The goal of the tutorial is to introduce the use of SIMULINK for control-system simulation. The version used to write this module is SIMULINK VERSION 10.1, part of Release R2020a from MathWorks. The version that you are using can be obtained by entering ver in the MATLAB command window.

The easiest way to learn how to use SIMULINK is to implement each step of the tutorial rather than simply reading it.

After reviewing this module, students should be able to:

• Place icons and blocks into a model diagram ...
