The real-time simulator of a turning-type sluice gate actuated by the hydraulic cylinders is developed using a PC and a visual C++ program language. The real-time simulator receives the directional control valve signal selected by the operator using the mouse, updates the state variables of the turning-type sluice gate system responding to the control signal, and draws the moving figures of the sluice gate, cylinder, reserved water every drawing time on the PC monitor. Also, the operator can observe the sluice gate angle, cylinder force, cylinder pressures, and hydraulic power representing the operation of sluice gate system through the PC monitor every drawing time. The simulator can be a very useful tool to design and improve the turning-type sluice gate system.
