QLabs Virtual Qube-Servo 3

Virtual platform for distance and blended undergraduate control systems courses

Control Systems & Dynamics Software Virtual Experiments

QLabs Virtual Qube-Servo 3 is a fully instrumented, dynamically accurate virtual twin of a classic QUBE-Servo 3 system. It behaves in the same way as the physical hardware and can be measured and controlled using MATLAB®/Simulink® and other development environments. QLabs Virtual Qube-Servo 3 can enrich your lectures and activities in traditional labs, or bring credible, authentic model-based lab experiences into your distance and online control systems course.

QLabs Virtual Qube-Servo 3 is available as a 12-month, multi-seat subscription. The platform is compatible with the physical Qube-Servo 3 curriculum which covers over 30 concepts including modelling, parameter identification, position, and speed control, lead control, stability analysis, steady-state error, moment of inertia, pendulum modelling, crane control, and pendulum balance control.

Product Details

Same as the physical Qube-Servo 3, the virtual system features a DC motor with the inertia disk and inverted pendulum modules. Rotary encoders measure the angular position of the DC motor and pendulum.

The motor angular velocity is measured through a software-based tachometer for both the motor and the pendulum.
