Theory:
DC Servo Trainer ED-4400B
The Trainer has the following components.
1. U-151 (dual attenuator).
2. U-152 (summing amplifier).
3. U-153 (pre-amplifier).
4. U-154 (motor driver amplifier).
5. U-155 (techo amp. unit).
6. U-156 (DC power supply).
7. U-157/U-158 (potentiometer).
8. U-159 (techo meter).
9. U-161 (servo motor).
10. U-162 (function generator).
11. U-163 (magnet brake).

U-154 (Motor Driver Amplifier):
This 10 W D.C differential Amplifier has overload protection circuits and drives the servo motor.
The gain of this amplifier is 34 db.
U-157/U-158 (potentiometer)
The 360˚ rotary scales are mounted on this precision potentiometer for position setup and detection.
Since the motor field coil in the ED-4400B trainer is replaced by the permanent magnet so that it now
produce a constant magnetic flux. So the speed of the motor solely depends upon the input voltage. In
simple words increasing the voltage increases the speed of the motor and vice versa.
Dead Zone:
The linear relation between the voltage and the speed start after some threshold because there are
losses in the motor and a voltage is required to overcome these losses. The difference between
the threshold voltage and the initial voltage is called dead zone.
Saturation Zone:
Also there is a saturation point beyond which the speed of motor ceases to increase which is
because the motor field consist of permanent magnets and provided a limited magnetic flux. The
region beyond the saturation point is called Saturation zone. In this zone the speed remain
constant in spite of increasing the current.
Procedure:
1) Connect the components according to the figure given below.
2) Connect the DC power unit (U-156) to a power socket using its cord.
3) Set the potentiometer at zero and then turn on the DC power supply.
4) Start increasing potentiometer value and note reading for V,I and rpm.
5) Make characteristic graphs to show dead zone and Saturation region.
Observations:
Conclusion:
It is concluded from the above experiment that as the motor input voltage and current increases
beyond a specified threshold the motor shaft begin to rotate. The speed of rotation is then
linearly dependent on the input voltage up to some saturation point beyond which the motor
speed become constant in spite of increasing the current. All these are shown in the figure 9 and
10.
