Controls Lab

Familiarization with Equipment

Objective: Become familiar with the digital oscilloscope and the signal generator to be used this semester. Calibrate the tachometer.

System Characterization (Time Response)

Objective: Characterize the servomotor system using time response data. In other words, find the transfer function of the servomotor.

System Characterization (Frequency Response)

Objective: Frequency response characterization of the servomotor system.

System Simulation

Objective: Simulate the servomotor system using SIMULINK.

Simulation Verification and Effect of Disturbances

Objective: Compare simulated response to actual response. Observe effect of feedback on disturbance rejection.

Characterization of PID Controllers

Objective: Discover how the time constants on PID control unit relate to your previous work with a PID controller.

Project: Position Control of Servomotor System

Objective: Design and implement a control system to achieve angular position control and meet system design specifications.
