ME722: Actuators and Controls Part B

1. Elaborate on the principles of Electro-Mechanical energy conversion in detail. [8]

2a. Explain the principle of operation of open loop control of Numerical Control (NC) system involving
stepper motor to drive the machine table.

2b. the deceleration distances in an NC point to point system are: L1 = 10mm; L2 = 1mm; L3 = 0.1mm,
before the target point. The corresponding velocities are 40, 4 and 0.4 mm/sec respectively.
Calculate the deceleration time. [10]

3. Write short notes on:

a. H-bridge circuit illustration
b. MOSFET. [5+5]
4. Carry out the Mathematical analysis, using Laplace transforms for the digital control loop system
used in NC machines. [12]
5. Develop the system equation for the DC servomotor, based on the armature control method. [10]
