Introduction to AC servo control trainer and position
control of AC servo motor
Objective
• Introduction to AC servo control trainer.
• To control the position of servo motor using AC servo control trainer.
• To get familiar with the software interface of AC servo control trainer.

Apparatus
The apparatus used is an AC servo control trainer.

Procedure
The following steps need to be followed to conduct this experiment:

1. Initially, the bridges were completed on the control circuit according to the circuit
diagram mentioned i.e., (enabling SRV and connecting pulse with A-out and SIGN with
B-out).

2. After that, the apparatus was set up on the control PC where the module of position was
selected for this experiment, loading the already created preset from the files.

3. The knob was rotated and see the effect of rotation on the position of servo and note
after how many rotation of knob the servo takes 1 revolution.

Interface of Software:
Our software of interest was PANA TERM. The following steps were taken to load the speed
preset file from the hard drive.

1. In the start, the icon named PANATERM was selected from the desktop and loaded.

2. The option showing Communication with the driver was selected and then the Update
button was pressed with OK.
3. After that, a new menu popped up showing the selection for Series setting. From there,
the option of MINAS A-6 was selected and OK was pressed.

4. After that, the tab of Parameters was selected from the top and then from the next
prompt, read from file was selected followed by an OK.

5. Now, the following path was selected from the side bar to locate the file of speed from
the hard drive.

6. Then click transmit and change set value.


Discussion
This experiment showcased the critical role of AC servo motors in achieving precise control
position. In this experiment the position of the AC servo was controlled by changing the
angle from the knob. With the change in the angle of the knob, the position of the AC Servo
motor also changes, and the change is very precise. When the knob is rotated in a clockwise
direction, the AC servo motor rotates clockwise. Likewise, turning the knob counterclockwise
induces a counterclockwise rotation of the motor. By rotating the knob through 270 divisions,
the AC servo rotates 360 degrees. It means per small division of the knob AC servo rotates
about 1.33 degree.

Conclusion
The experiment concluded that the AC servo motor is a very precise and sensitive instrument.
So, by minimal rotation of the knob the AC servo shows response. It is one of the advantages
of AC Servo motor over a step-up motor.

Safety precautions
• Always check the connections before usage
• Don’t try to make wrong connections.
• Don’t work on any apparatus if you are not familiar with it.
• Make sure that the power is off when working on electrical circuit.
• Keep liquids away from the electrical circuit.
