System Description 
The system under control is a liquid tank equipped with a filling valve and a draining pipe with a valve.
This is an elementary hydraulic 1st order system.

4. Experiments in the laboratory
1. Measurement of the pump motor starting voltage
The electric motor-pump not rotate until a certain minimum voltage value is reached.
This range is called “dead range”.

5. 2. Pump interface block:
Measurement of the pump interface output as a function of the reference level voltage.
The Pump Interface is a no linear stage
3.Loop gain amplifier block: Measurements for the calculation of the block gain.

6. 3.Loop Pump and pump interface as one block:
Measurements for the calculation of the block gain.

7. 4. Liquid level sensor (floater) block: measurements for the calculation of the block gain.

8. 5. Tank and draining pipe as one block: measurements for the calculation of the block time constant.

9. 6. Closed loop system: Recording of the system dynamic response, h(t)
6. Closed loop system: Recording of the system dynamic response, h(t) Study of the effect of the loop amplifier gain Kc on the liquid level error.

Step 1 the stages loop gain & Pump Interface in saturation the system works in no linear reason
Step 2 the stage Pump Interface in saturation the system work in no linear reason
Step 3 the system is at the steady state all the stages works in linear reason.
