FPAA BASED DC MOTOR SPEED CONTROL

Abstract

This paper presents design, modeling, simulation and hardware implementation of a separately excited Direct Current (DC) motor speed control using Field Programmable Analog Array (FPAA) technology. The hardware consists of a DC motor system, Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller using FPAA kit, power module, and tacho-generator. The results show that there is a reduction in overshoot, settling time, rising time and steady-state error compared with the conventional PID controlled system. The proposed system has been simulated using MATLAB software to study the effect of adding a PID controller on the factors affects the DC Motor speed. The model results show enhancement in the overshoot, settling time and improve the steady-state and transient response of the system
