Abstract
In this work, a simple Simulink® model of a conductivity control system, based on a Smith’s predictor, is presented. This model has three main didactic outcomes. First, it allows to show to the students how a computational tool can be used to solve problems that would require a fair amount of work if they were solved analytically. Second, it allows to present an example of advanced controller: the Smith’s predictor. Finally, using this model, students can “play” with the system in order to study the effect of the different system and controller parameters on the performance of the controlled system.
