LAB#12: Design of a PID Controller on a Permanent Magnet DC
Servo Motor to Control its position using the Hardware Prototype
Available in the Lab
OBJECTIVES
To Design a PID Controller on a PMDC Servo Motor to control its position To Tell the effect
of disturbance on a closed-loop system
METHODOLOGY
The position transducers are used to detect the position of the movement of an object from a reference
point. The movements can be linear or angular; consequently, linear or angular transducers have been
carried out according to the type of movement. Module G36A/EV analyses one of the most common
angular position transducers: the potentiometric transducer.
The potentiometric angular position transducer is at the same time very simple and accurate enough. It
consists in a resistive potentiometer whose shaft is mechanically connected to the motor axis. The two
terminals of the resistor which are the electrical part of the potentiometer, are connected to the two
reference voltages (+ 8 V). Movements of the motor shaft make the position of the potentiometer cursor
vary and consequently also its voltage value. The angular position of the cursor and consequently of the
motor shaft can be detected from the voltage value obtained
LAB TASK
CLOSED and Open Loop Position Control Operation

Comments
The above shows the response after the implementation of the proportional control. The effects
in the motor were apparent. Changing Kp when increased resulted in a much smooth response
of the motor
Comments
The above shows the response after the implementation of the proportional integral controller.
The steady state error is eliminated. But oscillations can be seen.

Comments
The experiment revealed that the Speed was uniform there were very less overshoots and the
motor ran smoothly.
This lab included the performance of lab tasks using hardware prototype. The parameters were
analyzed. Effects of changing control parameters were observed. The effect of resistance was observed
on the screen. The open loop and closed loop effects of disturbance was observed and countered.
Observations were made and the desired result was achieved
