Thermal processes are one of the most common systems in the industry, makingits understanding a mandatory skill for control engineers. So, multiple effortsare focused on developing low-cost and portable experimental training rigsrecreating the thermal process dynamics and controls, usually limited to SISOor low order 2x2 MIMO systems. This paper presents PHELP, a low-cost, portable,and high order MIMO educational platform for uniformity temperature controltraining. The platform is composed of an array of 16 Peltier modules as heatingelements, with a lower heating and cooling times, resulting in a 16x16 highorder MIMO system. A low-cost real-time infrared thermal camera is employed asa temperature feedback sensor instead of a standard thermal sensor, ideal forhigh order MIMO system sensing and temperature distribution tracking. Thecontrol algorithm is developed in Matlab/Simulink and employs an Arduino boardin hardware in the loop configuration to apply the control action to eachPeltier module in the array. A temperature control experiment is performed,showing that the platform is suitable for teaching and training experiences notonly in the classroom but also for engineers in the industry. Furthermore,various abnormal conditions can be introduced so that smart control engineeringfeatures can be tested.
