BCS Glasgow: Controlling 70-Ton Gripper Arms for Offshore Wind Turbine Construction Using LabVIEW and CompactRIO
Description changed:
Synopsis:
The Challenge:
Creating an intuitive, reliable system to deploy, position and stow hydraulic gripper arms used in guiding steel monopiles for offshore wind farm construction.
The Solution:
Developing an integrated control system that uses an NI CompactRIO system and NI LabVIEW software to perform real-time data acquisition, monitoring and a position control algorithm.

Control Software a Development for Motion Stabilised Gangway (Turbine Access System).
Date : Monday 10th March 2014
Time : 6:00 for 6:30 pm
Location: Room M404 (4th Floor), George Moore Building, Glasgow Caledonian University, Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow G4 0BE - Map of Location http://glasgow.bcs.org/Caledonian_maps
Speaker: Dr Andy Clegg (ICS Ltd)
Convenor : Lynn Kelly
ICS Ltd are a control engineering company, but have just been involved in developing and delivering the embedded control software for a couple of impressive marine engineering projects. So whilst some of it is about the control, most of it is around the software engineering needed to make something work reliably.
ICS Ltd won Application of the Year awards from National Instruments for both of these projects, further details of which can be found here http://sine.ni.com/cs/app/doc/p/id/cs-15650.
