Abstract

This report presents the conceptual design for controlling the position and speed of a
DC motor. This is achieved by implementing the PID control theory. We are trying
to build a control system platform where engineering students and professionals can
experiment and do research of their control theory applications. Our motivation for
this design is the SRV02 Rotary Servo plant from QUANSER. We are implementing
this concept using NI myRIO-1900 controller from National Instruments and the
software that is interfaced with this controller is LabVIEW 2014. The speed and
position of the DC motor are analysed using this LabVIEW software, and the results
are verified.

Introduction

1.1 Concept

This report presents the concept and design for controlling the position and speed
of DC motor with the help of LabVIEW software interfaced with NI myRIO-1900
controller and by implementing PID control theory. The DC motor is a permanent
magnet DC motor. The motor also has an built in QUAD encoder attached having
2000 PPR(Pulses Per Revolution) of resolution. We have used DC motor replacing
servo motor or stepper motor for high accuracy and speed. We achieve the position
control of the motor by matching the encoder values and the desired angle in degrees.
We have designed a Virtual Interface (VI) in the LabVIEW software which converts
the encoder values to angle in degrees and then compares to the desired angle set via
a gauge and then verifies it. The speed is measured by analyzing the rate at which
encoder produces pulses and then converting this rate of change to speed in RPM
unit. We control the speed of the motor using PID controller designed in the VI of
the LabVIEW software.
This project is further used in various control engineering applications and also for
research purposes [1].

1.2 Literature Review

1.2.1 Quanser SRV02

The SRV02 Servo Base Unit from QUANSER is a servo-mechanism system. This
module can be used to research and study various control problems such as inverted
pendulum, flexible link, 2DOF system, Ball and Beam mechanism, etc. This is the
fundamental unit for Quanser’s Rotary Control experiments. Rotary Servo Base
Unit covers three main labs: Modelling, Position Control, and Speed Control,[2].
The SRV02 has 3 sensors for this; potentiometer, encoder and tachometer to measure
position and speed of the motor.

Laplace Transform

The Laplace transform method is an operational method that can be used for solv-
ing linear differential equations. Laplace transforms can be used to convert many
common functions, such as sinusoidal functions, damped sinusoidal functions, expo-
nential functions, into algebraic functions of a complex variable s. Operations such
as differentiation and integration can be replaced by algebraic operations in the com-
plex plane. Thus, a linear differential equation can be transformed into an algebraic
equation in a complex variable s. If the algebraic equation in s is solved for the
dependent variable, then the solution of differential equation (the inverse Laplace
transform of the dependent variable) may be found.

An advantage of the Laplace transform method is that, when the differential equation
is solved, both the transient component and steady-state component of the solution
can be obtained simultaneously.
