Lab Sheet MEC522 PBL (ArduinoDC - MotorEncoder - Close Loop)

This document outlines a problem-based learning project on developing a closed-loop position control system using a PID controller. The objectives are to develop mathematical models of the control system and analyze PID controller performance. Students will implement P, PI, and PID control and tune the PID gains using Ziegler-Nichols rules. They will evaluate step response, error, settling time, and overshoot to optimize system performance. A group report is required with sections on introduction, objectives, methodology, results, analysis, and conclusions along with diagrams, code, and working explanations. The report is due in week 12 and will be graded based on technical content and timeliness of submission.

 Read and understand the control system as shown in Figure 1.

 Identify input and output of the control system

 Verify the hardware configuration and the interfacing of the control system as shown
in Figure 2.

 Implement the P-I-D controller to the system.


i. Proportional controller (P controller)
ii. Proportional and integral controller (PI Controller)
iii. Proportional, integral and derivative controller (PID controller)

 Improve the performance of the system using Ziegler-Nichols Tuning Rules for PID
Controller. The requirement is open which means that you should try to achieve as
good as possible performance for transient, stability as well as signal tracking. Use a
unit step signal of magnitude 270o (384 counts).

 Attempt to achieve the best possible system performance. The best performance of
the control system based on
i. disturbance rejection
ii. steady-state error
iii. the peak time
iv. settling time
v. percentage of overshoot, etc.

 Write a report based on this PBL project
