Abstract

The open loop experiment of pure capacity system for 2 liquid tanks in series has been successfully done in laboratory[1]. Two square tanks were designed and arranged in series for investigation in laboratory. The water stream with its volumetric rate of fi(t) [cm3/min] was flowed to the 1st tank (Tank-1). The liquid in Tank-1 was then be pumped to the 2nd tank (Tank-2), with its volumetric rate of f1(t) [cm3/min]. The volumetric rate of f1(t) can be adjusted by changing the voltage of the pump, m(t) [volt]. This study has proposed the liquid level control configuration of 2 tanks in series system. In this work, the water volumetric rate of fi(t) was considered as a disturbance. The liquid level of Tank-1 h1(t) was kept constant by manipulating the voltage of the pump m(t). The output volumetric rate of Tank-2 f2(t) was chosen as a manipulated variable to control the liquid level of Tank-2 h2(t). The P-only-control was implemented to control the
liquid level of Tank-1 and PI-control to control the liquid level of Tank-2. Control parameters were tuned by trial and
error with minimum integral criteria. The controller gain (Kc) for liquid level control of Tank-1 (LC-1) was found -50
volt/cm, and for Tank-2 (LC-2) was -500 cm2/minute. The integral time (I) for LC-2 are 2 minute and 0.1 minute. In
order to examine the control configuration, the input water volumetric rate disturbance (with amount of ±14%) was made
based on step function. The closed loop dynamic simulation using computer programming has been done. The developed
mathematical model of liquid level control in this system was solved numerically. Scilab software was chosen to
examine such mathematical model. Integral of the absolute value of the error (IAE) for LC-1 and LC-2 were 6.1 and 3.6,
respectively. This study revealed that the proposed control configuration with its tuning parameters gave a stable
response to a change in the input water volumetric rate.
