11. Design the Heating & Cooling System in LabVIEW


AIM
Build a VI that simulates a heating and cooling system. The system must be able to be
controlled manually or automatically. The VI’s specifications are listed below.

• Must be able to be controlled automatically and manually


• In manual mode, the heater and air conditioning (AC) can be switched on/off by
the user
• In automatic mode, the heater and AC turn on/off based on the following
conditions:
❖ The air conditioner is turned on when the temperature is above 80 °F
❖ The heater is turned on when the temperature is below 60 °F
❖ The heater and the air conditioner are turned off when the temperature
is between 60 °F and 80 °F

Software Required:

• NI LabVIEW

Procedure:

1. Follow the steps in Setting up a Blank VI to start a new VI in LabVIEW.


2. In the block diagram, insert a case structure to control the manual and automatic
operation of the heating and cooling system (Structures > Case Structure).
3. In the front panel, three Round LEDs and three Slide Switches by going to the
(Boolean). The round LEDs and slide switches will separately represent the AC, heater,
and manual modes
4. Drag and drop a thermometer into the front panel (Numeric > Thermometer).
5. In the block diagram, right-click the thermometer terminal and select Change to
Control. Observe that the arrow switches from the left side to the right side.
6. Change the selector label values to True and insert a True Constant (Boolean > True
Constant). Wiring operations are done to connect various objects in the block diagram
(Figure.1).

7. Change the selector label values to False, insert two Numeric Constants (Numeric >
Numeric Constant) and Comparisons. one “Greater” function and one “Less” function
(Comparison). These will be used to build the program for the heating and cooling
system in automatic mode.
8. Insert a False Constant (Boolean > False Constant). Wiring operations are done to
connect various objects in the block diagram (Figure.2).
9. Set a numeric constant to 60 and the other to 80. Wire the 60 numeric constants to the
lower input terminal of the less than function and the 80 numeric constants to the lower
input terminal of the greater than function.

10. The system is now complete. Click the continuously run button to control and test the
VI.

Result:

Thus, the VI simulates a heating and cooling system. The system must be able to be controlled
manually or automatically was created.
