Magnetic Levitation System laboratory-based education in control engineering

The paper presents educational issues related to the development and implementation of low-cost control solutions and algorithms used in the syllabus of control engineering courses applied to the Magnetic Levitation System with 2 Electromagnets laboratory equipment. Realtime experiments are included to accompany the laboratory-based education in control engineering.
