Dc Motors Speed Controls Servo Systems

DC Motors - Speed Controls - Servo Systems: An Engineering Handbook is a seven-chapter text that covers the basic concept, principles, and applications of DC and speed motors and servo systems. After providing the terminology, symbols, and systems of units, this book goes on dealing with the basic theory, motor comparison, and basic speed control methods of motors. The subsequent chapters describe the phase-locked servo systems and their optimization and applications. These topics are followed by a discussion of the developments made by Electro-Craft in the field of DC Brushless Motors. The final chapter provides revised data sheets on Electro-Craft products and describes the models in the motomatic range of speed controls, servomotor controls, and digital positioning systems. This handbook is of great value to professional engineers and engineering students.

Recent advances in LSI technology and the consequent availability of inexpensive but powerful microprocessors have already affected the process control industry in a significant manner. Microprocessors are being increasingly utilized for improving the performance of control systems and making them more sophisticated as well as reliable. Many concepts of adaptive and learning control theory which were considered impractical only 20 years ago are now being implemented. With these developments there has been a steady growth in hardware and software tools to support the microprocessor in its complex tasks. With the current trend of using several microprocessors for performing the complex tasks in a modern control system, a great deal of emphasis is being given to the topic of the transfer and sharing of information between them. Thus the subject of local area networking in the industrial environment has become assumed great importance. The object of this book is to present both hardware and software concepts that are important in the development of microprocessor-based control systems. An attempt has been made to obtain a balance between theory and practice, with emphasis on practical applications. It should be useful for both practicing engineers and students who are interested in learning the practical details of the implementation of microprocessor-based control systems. As some of the related material has been published in the earlier volumes of this series, duplication has been avoided as far as possible.

Servo Motors and Industrial Control Theory is the only text focused on the fundamentals of servo motors and control theory. Graphical methods for classical control theory have been augmented with worked examples using MatLab and Mathcad to reflect the reality of the way engineers solve control problems in the field today. State variable feedback control theory is introduced clearly and simply, with practical examples that help students approach what can be seen as complicated problems with confidence. This updated second edition includes expanded discussion of Nyquist and Root Locus stability criteria and the role of sensors, as well as new Mathcad examples. A range of parameters are introduced for each servo control system discussed, making this book a comprehensive learning tool for students and an accessible information resource for control system designers who want to keep their knowledge up-to-date.

This book is all about running a brushless DC motor using a sensorless technique. The target of the work was to make a very simple operating method for a brushless motor and formulate a speed control mechanism. Initially the work was started with both considering back-EMF and without considering back-EMF. Because of more complexity in the back-EMF sensing method, and as our intention was to make a simpler and cost effective operation, so finally we assembled our project the without back-EMF sensing. Even though being a simple and inexpensive machine, the performance was quite good. However adding back-EMF sensing in this machine can give it more dependability.TABLE OF CONTENTS: DECLARATIONIAPPROVALIIACKNOWLEDGEMENTIIILIST OF FIGURESVIIABSTRACTIXCHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION101.1.Introduction101.2.Historical Background101.3.Advantage over Traditional Method111.4.Objective of this Work121.4.1.Primary objectives121.4.2.Secondary Objectives121.5.Introduction to this Thesis12CHAPTER 2BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR142.1.Introduction142.2.Comparison of Brushless motor with brushed motors152.3.Structure of a BLDC152.3.1.Stator162.3.2.Rotor172.4.Operating Principle182.4.1.Sensored Commutation192.4.2.Conventional Control Method Using Hall-effect Sensors202.4.3.Sensorless Control222.5.Applications232.6.Summary24CHAPTER 3MOTOR DRIVE SYSTEMS253.1.Introduction253.2.Components of Drive Electronics253.3.Inverter263.3.1.Three-Phase Inverter263.3.1.1.120-Degree Conduction273.3.1.2.180-Degree Conduction293.4.Speed Control Techniques303.4.1.Open Loop Speed Control313.4.2.Closed Loop Speed Control313.4.2.1.Proportional-Integral (PI) Controller323.5.PWM based Methods333.5.1.Conventional 120° PWM technique333.5.2.PWM Duty Cycle Calculation333.6.Summary34CHAPTER 4SIMULATION354.1.Introduction354.2.Simulation354.2.1.Simulating Three-Phase Inverter364.2.2.Simulating Controller Unit384.3.Simulation Results394.3.1.Speed Control404.4.Summary40CHAPTER 5HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION415.1.Introduction415.2.Equipments and Components425.3.Power Supply Unit435.4.Microcontroller Unit445.5.Motor Drive Unit455.6.Performance of the System465.7.Summary47CHAPTER 6DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS486.1.Discussions486.2.Suggestion for future Work496.2.1.Limitations496.2.2.Future Scope496.3.Conclusions50REFERENCES51APPENDIX A53SPEED CONTROL FLOWCHART53APPENDIX B54MICROCONTROLLER CODES54APPENDIX C55ATMEGA32 (MICROCONTROLLER)556.3.1.Pin Descriptions556.3.2.Block Diagram586.3.3.Electrical Characteristics59APPENDIX D60L298 (DUAL FULL-BRIDGE DRIVER)606.3.4.Pin Configurations606.3.5.Maximum Ratings61
