D.C. Servo Position Control Parameter Estimation

Abstract

Open-loop and closed-loop position control systems are obtained using dcmotor. The open-loop uses an estimation of controller parameters to perform theposition control where the closed loop position control systems uses a cascadecontroller to maintain the desired position. Controllers are designed usingMatlab/Simulink simulation package. The objective is to design a positioncontroller which will be able to drive the motor at a specified constant velocitywhich might gives the motor some constant torque. The results obtained from theopen-loop position control system parameters estimation shows betterperformance specification in the control tasks, such as rise time and overshoot.The cascade closed-loop position control system shows an improvement inperformance when use the values of estimated parameters .
