LAB#11: Design of a PID Controller on a Permanent Magnet DC
Servo Motor to Control its speed using the Hardware Prototype
Available in the Lab
OBJECTIVES
• To Design a PID Controller on a PMDC Servo Motor for its speed control operation
• To Tell the effect of disturbance on a closed-loop system

METHODOLOGY
In this lab we are going to have a brief introduction of transducers and their different types to
observe the speed and position of a DC servo motor. The concepts of PID controller gained in
the previous lab will practically be implemented on hardware to analyses and control the speed
of a DC Servo Motor. Devices converting energy from one form to another are generally called
transducers. The typical transducer block diagram .Usually the physical output variable of a
transducer is an electric type variable. The transducer output can be a voltage, a current, a
resistor, and so on. According to the different output, transducers are divided into digital or
analog. Analog transducers produce a DC electrical output, proportional to the measured
quantity, from a DC electric input. While a digital transducer produces a series of digital
signals. Usually, the output electrical variable of a transducer cannot be directly used for a
direct measurement or to carry out feedback systems. For example, the output voltage range
may not be the desired one; the supplied signal power may be too low; the electric variable
may not be the one requested, and so on. For these reasons, the transducer is never supplied
alone but with a SIGNAL CONDITIONER. The signal conditioner, which is usually electronic
type, is an instrument converting an electric variable into another one which is more suitable
to the specific application. In most cases, the output electrical variable consists in a voltage.
LAB TASK
Open and closed Loop Speed Control Operation

Comments
 The above shows the response after the implementation of the proportional control. The
effects in the motor were apparent. Changing Kp when increased resulted in a much
smooth response of the motor.

Comments
The above shows the response after the implementation of the proportional integral
controller. The steady state error is eliminated. But oscillations can be seen.

Comments
The experiment revealed that the Speed was uniform there were very less overshoots and the
motor ran smoothly.
CONCLUSION
This lab included the performance of lab tasks using hardware prototype. The parameters were
analyzed. Effects of changing control parameters were observed. The effect of resistance was
observed on the screen. The open loop and closed loop effects of disturbance was observed and
countered. Observations were made and the desired result was achieved.
