A control system was implemented to a multipurpose plant which has a level control, temperature control and pressure control. Was developed an interface in LabView 9.1 to have a best visualization of the operation and the correct interaction with the plant was confirmed, obtaining the set-point values with a margin of error between 3 to 5%. Moreover, a simulation in Simulink of MATLAB was made to the temperature control and we found that the experimental data and the simulation are in agreement.
