Linear Inverted Pendulum
Linear Inverted Pendulum
The inverted pendulum system is a widely recognized tool for demonstrating feedback control to stabilize unstable systems. It serves as a benchmark for testing control algorithms and is used in educational settings to teach students about balancing a vertical rod on a moving arm. Additionally, it introduces industrial components such as linear motors, servo motor drivers, magnetic encoders, and sliding rails.
High-End Research System
The Linear Inverted Pendulum is designed with industrial-grade, durable components, making it suitable for high-performance academic teaching and research. The system's mechanical components are robust and long-lasting, allowing for the implementation of controllers that require fast response times.
User-Friendly GUI and Open-Source Software
The system is compatible with NI LabVIEW™ and MATLAB®/Simulink®, providing open-source software for students to design their own controllers. It includes predesigned plant simulations and controllers for performance measurement and comparison between simulation and real data. The user-friendly GUI displays system states and includes graphical charts for steady-state and phase error analysis.

Catalog excerpts
OVERVIEW The inverted pendulum system is a popular demonstration of using feedback control to stabilize an open-loop unstable system and widely used as a benchmark for testing control algorithms. The system can be used to teach students how to balance a vertical rod at the tip of a moving arm and be used as a tool to teach industrial compo nents such as linear motors, servo motor drivers, magnetic encoders and sliding rails. HIGH-END RESEARCH SYSTEM WITH PRECISION COMPONENTS Linear Inverted Pendulum, with its industrial grade and durable components, is a hands-on experiment, suitable for high-end, high-perf ormance academic teaching and research needs. Components of the system are deliberately chosen to maximize the ef f iciency without compromising quality. Mechanical components are stiff and durable, built to last for many years. Thanks to the precise and agile motion characteristics, controllers requiring fast response times could be implemented. USER-FRIENDLY GUI AND OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE Available in NI LabVIEW™ and MATLAB®/Simulink® as an open source software allows students to implement their own controller designs. Predesigned plant simulation and controllers are ready for performance measurements and observing responses of the controller types between the simulation and real data. User-friendly GUI includes states of the system also a 2D image of the cart. Steady-state and phase error for standard test inputs are easily covered in the graphical chart
