The Quanser Engineering Trainers for the NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS), also known as QNET plants, provide the components you need to set up your control design, simulation, mechatronics/haptics, dynamics, or thermodynamics lab. You can use these QNET plants with NI ELVIS or NI ELVIS II to integrate the NI LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module into your courses.

The QNET-013 Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) actuator is a 1 degree-of-freedom (1DOF) helicopter that provides a fundamental introduction to motion control, aerospace dynamics, kinematics, and control. The system consists of one variable-speed fan with safety guards, mounted on the end of a cantilevered arm. The fan and arm assembly pivot about an axis attached to an encoder shaft.

The QNET-014 mechatronics sensors 1 board is an experiment that steps the student through the physical properties of most sensors used today and the techniques and limitations of their applications. It features four digital sensors: push button, single-pole double-throw (SPDT) microswitch; transmissive optical switch; reflective optical switch; and magnetic Hall effect switch. It also features six analog sensors: potentiometer, optical analog distance, magnetic analog field, pressure, temperature, and piezo film.

The QNET-010 DC motor control trainer is designed to illustrate the fundamentals of DC motor control using the NI ELVIS workstation and LabVIEW software. Students can quickly and easily configure it to control motor position and speed as well as parameter estimation and haptics knobs.

The QNET-011 rotary inverted pendulum offers students the opportunity to balance a vertical rod at the tip of a rotating arm using a DC motor. They can now perform this classic inverted pendulum control experiment using the NI ELVIS workstation and LabVIEW software.

The QNET-012 HVAC trainer is ideal for illustrating concepts covered in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics control courses. It teaches students how to design a control system that regulates temperature in a chamber using the NI ELVIS workstation and LabVIEW interface. The trainer features a chamber equipped with a temperature sensor, heat source, and fan.
