how to remove the simulation loop from the block diagram

[logaraj]

hi,

i have used lap view version 8.6 to design pid system. i have the pid block diagram with daq  on simulation loop. now my supervisor want me to remove the simulation loop. anyone know how to remove the simulation loop without deleting the pid block diagram. i have attached my pid program.

You cannot remove the simulation loop alone because all the functions kept inside that loop will work inside that loop only. If you have to remove means then you have to find another way to inplement the PID control.

Out of curiosity - why does your supervisor want you to remove the simulation loop?  It certainly seems like the diagram could be cleaned up a little - but the simulation loop is there to both drive your control within a loop, and also to maintain the state of the integrator node through multiple iterations of the loop. 

Plus - I would think that even if you did implement your control without using a simulation loop, you would still need some kind of loop to drive your controller - a "while" loop, perhaps.  Since the simulation loop stands in place of that, why not just leave it where it is?

Lap view is awesome, I am however concerned that you have got yourself, alongside your supervisor, for that matter, lost in the lapless domain (sic).
