We estimated our expenses to be $1569.45 by replacing the microprocessor with the National Instruments controller. We decided to save money and use a microprocessor; however, we did not anticipate having to buy a drive which greatly changed out expenses. Ultimately we spent $1760.62 which was still in our allotted budget, but greatly exceeded our expectations.

The valve position is controlled by sending a pressurized air signal to the valve, which moves a diaphragm connected to the valve stem. The air signal is regulated by a current to pressure (I/P) converter, which takes an analog current signal being sent by a processor (420mA) and converts it linearly to a (3-15psi) air signal. The converter is supplied with pressurized air via a regulator, which converts the pressure from 80 psi to 30 psi. An additional 30 psi air line is sent to the control valve to speed the valve dynamics. Pump: Micropump GJ.N-25 The positive displacement pump also regulates stream flow and pressure by driving a pump rotor via a motor, which is controlled via voltage supplied by a drive. The voltage sent by the drive is controlled via an analog current signal sent from the processor. The characteristic of the pump is the following: 𝐹𝑃 = (−𝛼 + 𝛽𝜔)∆𝑃 + 𝛾𝜔 ≈ 𝛾𝜔 Where 𝜔 is the speed (angular speed, RPM) of the motor and 𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾 are fitting parameters characteristic to the pump. Motor and Drive The speed of the motor is regulated by the following equation which relates the frequency of the drive and the angular speed of the pump: 𝜔 = 𝑘𝑓 Where 𝑓 is the frequency of the drive, which ranges between 0-60 Hz and is directly controlled via a mA signal sent by the microprocessor. 𝑘 is the ratio between drive frequency and motor speed, which is set to 1800RPM/60Hz.

The cart was designed to house the process control system; prioritizing usability, safety and reliability for the students. The cart was designed to be portable, easily moved, and easily connected and disconnected to lab utilities. The cart was augmented with stainless steel framing to mount and support all of the system components. All of the system components may be removed and rearranged if needed. In order to avoid the previous balance issues, the frame was designed to be located in the center of the cart. In addition, the system components weights were evenly distributed across the whole cart, keeping the bottom of the cart weighted heavily.
