In this study, the design and implementation of a general control system platform for educational purposes was performed. This project has been designed to facilitate the understanding of control systems in mechanical engineering by creating a foundational system to position-control the rotation of a DC motor, and then employing it as a teaching tool in the undergraduate Control Systems course at Loyola Marymount University (LMU). The objective of this effort was to lay the groundwork for a more “hands-on” control systems education at LMU by designing the general mechanical platform and a pilot on-off controller to illustrate its functionality and feasibility in the classroom. With the foundational stages complete, students in future classes will be able to design and build different controllers for this same device in order to investigate and apply their newly-acquired knowledge of control systems.

For the precision rotor position control of stream selector, a control system based on direct current motor (DC motor) has been constructed. The DC motor, with a high-precision incremental encoder used as the driving force, was assembled with the stream selector rotor through a shaft coupling. Following the motor rotation, the encoder generated two-channel quadrature pulses and one channel index pulses. An ultralow-power consumption microcontroller (msp430f2232) received theses pulses and calculated them. The position of the slot was determined by the number of pulses counted from the index pulse. Operator can set and monitored the slot positions of five stream selectors simultaneously through the program which was written with LabVIEW on the host computer. This module featured high reliability and low power consumption compared with the one driven by step motor. Beyond that, it was much smaller and lighter.

ABSTRAK Paper ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa rangkaian sistem kendali putaran motor menggunakan Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) atau Thyristor. Eksperimen sistem kendali putaran motor ini menggunakan dua rangkaian yang berbeda. Rangkaian pertama menggunakan dua sumber, yaitu sumber tegangan DC 12 v terhubung dengan motor universal secara seri dengan resistor dan SCR, sedangkan sumber tegangan DC variabel 0 sampai 1.5 v dihubung paralel dengan kapasitor dan resistor. Rangkaian kedua menggunakan satu sumber tegangan AC 5 v yang dihubungkan dengan saklar dan motor. Pada rangkaian kedua ini motor dihubungkan dengan potensio, SCR, dioda serta kapasitor yang dipasang paralel dengan sumber tegangan AC. Hasil eksperimen menunjukkan dalam rangkaian menggunakan sumber tegangan DC, motor DC akan berputar saat saklar S1 tertutup. Kondisi motor akan berputar lebih cepat ketika sumber tegangan variabel diatur lebih besar dari 0 v sehingga arus gate Ig lebih bear dari 400 mA. Adapun Eksperimen dengan sumber tegangan AC, motor akan berputar dengan menambahkan dioda D3 dan pengaturan kecepatan melalui potensio meter Rv sampai posisi maksimum. Kata kunci: analisa, motor DC, SCR, sistem kendali ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to analyse the circuit of DC motor control system using Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) or Thyristor. In this experiment the circuit of control system for the motor using two different circuits. The first circuit using two sources, the 12 v DC voltage is connected to universal motor and series with a resistor and SCR, while the DC variable voltage source of 0 to 1.5 v connected in parallel to the capacitor and resistor. The second circuit uses a single source of 5 V AC voltage connected to the switch and the motor. In the second circuit, the motor is connected to the potentio meter, SCR, diode and capacitor in parallel with the AC voltage source. The experimental results showed the circuit using a DC voltage source impacted the DC motor rotated after the switch S1 is closed then the motor rotated more faster when the variable voltage source is set greater than 0 v then the gate current Ig will be greater than 400 mA. The AC voltage source rotated the DC motor, when inserted the diode D3 to control the motor rotation using potentio meter. The motor can be stopped by minimising Rv.

This paper presents the online control system application for improving the DC motor performance. DC motor widely used in industries and many appliances. For this aim fuzzy logic controller is applied. The type of fuzzy controller use is an incremental fuzzy logic controller (IFLC). The IFLC is developed by using MATLAB Simulink Software and implemented in online position control system applying RAPCON board as a platform. The experimental results produced the best gains of the IFLC are 1.785, 0.0056955 and 0.01 for error gain (GE), gain of change error (GCE) and gain of output (GCU) respectively. Its produce smaller rise time, peak time, 0% overshoot and smaller settling time. Beside that the IFLC response also able to follow the set point. The controller response parameters values are also acceptable. It means that the IFLC suitable to be use for improving the position control system performance.

In this work, a comparative study of three control strategies for the position control of a permanent magnet DC motor with dead zone is presented. The strategies analyzed are the classical PI controller, a new approach based on a linear controller with double integral effect, and the Inverse Dead Zone approach. Through the results here exposed it is shown that the new approach based on a controller with double integral effect results in a control system capable of achieving smaller position error, reducing the undesirable stick/slip effect without inducing high frequency oscillations or chattering in the control variable. In addition, and thanks to its linear nature, it is possible to determine stability and robustness of the resulting control system by means of the classical margins of gain and phase making this approach suitable for an engineering context
