In Servo applications, DC motors are generally used in the linear range of the

magnetization curve. Therefore, the air gap flux φ is proportional to the field current.

The torque Tm developed by the motor is proportional to the product of the armature

current and air gap flux.

Tm α φ Ia

Tm =Ki φ Ia = Ki Kf If Ia , where Ki is a constant --------------(2) In the armature controlled DC motor, the field current is kept constant. So the above equation can be written as Tm = Kt Ia , Where Kt is known as motor torque constant.------ (3)

The motor back emf being proportional to speed is given by

eb α dθ/dt,

eb = Kb dθ/dt, where Kb is the back emf constant.----------------(4)

The differential equation of the armature circuit is

THEORY

When the objective of a system is to control the position of an object, then the system is called a servomechanism. The motors that are used in automatic control systems are called servomotors. Servomotors are used to convert an electrical signal (control voltage) into an angular displacement of the shaft. In general, servomotors have the following features.

1. Linear relationship between speed and electrical control signal 2. Steady state stability 3. Wide range of speed control

Page 19: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

4. Linearity of mechanical characteristics throughout the entire speed range 5. Low mechanical and electrical inertia 6. Fast response

Derivation of Transfer Function:

Let Tm = Torque developed by the servomotor

θ = angular displacement of the rotor

ω = dθ / dt = angular speed TL = torque required by the load J = Moment of inertia of the load and the rotor

B = Viscous frictional coefficient of the load and the rotor K1 = slope of the control phase voltage and torque characteristics.

K2 = slope of the speed and torque characteristics.

The transfer function of the AC servomotor can be obtained by torque equation. The motor developed torque is given by

AIM:

To study the operation of closed loop position control system (DC

Servomotor) with a PI controller.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

THEORY:

A pair of potentiometers is used to convert the input and output positions into

proportional electrical signals. The desired position is set on the input potentiometer and the actual position is fed to feedback potentiometer. The difference between the

two angular positions generates an error signal, which is amplified and fed to armature circuit of the DC motor. If an error exists , the motor develops a torque to

rotate the output in such a way as to reduce the error to zero. The rotation of the motor stops when the error signal is zero, i.e., when the desired position is reached.

CLOSED LOOP AC POSITION CONTROL SYSTEM

AIM:

To study the closed loop operation of AC position control system (AC

Servomotor) with PI controller.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

THEORY:

CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS

The AC servomotor is a two-phase induction motor with some special design features. The stator consists of two pole pairs (A-B and C-D) mounted on the inner

periphery of the stator, such that their axes are at an angle of 90o in space. Each pole

pair carries a winding, one winding is called the reference winding and other winding

is called the control winding. The exciting currents in the two windings should have a phase displacement of 90o. The supply used to drive the motor is single-phase and

hence a phase advancing capacitor is connected to one of the phases to produce a phase difference of 90

o. The stator constructional features of AC servomotor are

shown in fig.1.

The rotor construction is usually of squirrel cage or drag-cup type. The squirrel cage rotor is made of laminations. The rotor bars are placed on the slots and

short-circuited at both ends by end rings. The diameter of the rotor is kept small in order to reduce inertia and to obtain good accelerating characteristics. Drag cup

construction is employed for very low inertia applications. In this type of construction, the rotor will be in the form of hollow cylinder made of aluminium. The

aluminium cylinder itself acts as short-circuited rotor conductors.

WORKING PRINCIPLES

The stator windings are excited by voltages of equal rms magnitude and 90

o

phase difference. This results in exciting currents i1 and i2 displaced in phase by 90o

and having identical rms values. These currents give rise to a rotating magnetic field

of constant magnitude. The direction of rotation depends on the phase relationship of the two currents (or voltages). The exciting current shown in fig.2 produces a

clockwise rotating magnetic field. When i1 is shifted by 180o, an anticlockwise

rotating magnetic field is produced. This rotating magnetic field sweeps over the rotor

conductors. The rotor conductor experience a change in flux and so voltages are

Page 41: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

41

induced in rotor conductors. This results in circulating currents in the short-circuited rotor conductors resulting in rotor flux.

Due to the interaction of stator & rotor flux, a mechanical force (or Torque) is developed in the rotor and the rotor starts moving in the same direction as that of rotating magnetic field.

STEPPER MOTOR

Aim: To study the Stepper motor

Theory:

Stepper motors are highly accurate pulse-driven motors that change their angular position in steps, in response to input pulses from digitally controlled systems. A stepper or stepping motor converts electronic pulses into proportionate

mechanical movement. Each revolution of the stepper motor's shaft is made up of a series of discrete individual steps. A step is defined as the angular rotation produced by the output shaft each time the motor receives a step pulse. These types of motors are very popular in digital control circuits, such as robotics, because they are ideally suited for receiving digital pulses for step control.

Each step causes the shaft to rotate a certain number of degrees.

A step angle represents the rotation of the output shaft caused by each step, measured in degrees.

Figure.1. illustrates a simple application for a stepper motor. Each time the controller receives an input signal, the paper is driven a certain incremental

distance.

Fig.1

In addition to the paper drive mechanism in a printer, stepper motors are also popular in machine tools, process control systems, tape and disk drive systems, and programmable controllers. The Common Features of stepper motors are

• Brushless – Stepper motors are brushless. The commentator and brushes of conventional motors are some of the most failure-prone components, and they create electrical arcs that are undesirable or dangerous in some environments.

Page 44: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

44

• Load Independent – Stepper motors will turn at a set speed regardless of load as long as the load does not exceed the torque rating for the motor.

• Open Loop Positioning – Stepper motors move in quantified increments or steps. As long as the motor runs within its torque specification, the position of the shaft is known at all times without the need for a feedback mechanism.

• Holding Torque – Stepper motors are able to hold the shaft stationary.

• Excellent response to start-up, stopping and reverse.

Types of Stepper Motor

1. Permanent-magnet stepper motor The permanent-magnet stepper motor operates on the reaction between a

permanent-magnet rotor and an electromagnetic field.

Figure shows a basic two-pole PM stepper motor. The rotor shown in Figure (a) has a permanent magnet mounted at each end.

The stator is illustrated in Figure (b). Both the stator and rotor are shown as having teeth

Fig.2

The teeth on the rotor surface and the stator pole faces are offset so that

there will be only a limited number of rotor teeth aligning themselves with an energized stator pole. The number of teeth on the rotor and stator determine the step angle that will occur each time the polarity of the winding is reversed. The greater the number of teeth, the smaller the step angle.

Page 45: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

45

Fig.3 The holding torque is defined as the amount of torque required to move the rotor one full step with the stator energized.

An important characteristic of the PM stepper motor is that it can maintain the

holding torque indefinitely when the rotor is stopped. Figure (a) shows a permanent magnet stepper motor with four stator windings.

By pulsing the stator coils in a desired sequence, it is possible to control the speed and direction of the motor.

Figure (b) shows the timing diagram for the pulses required to rotate the PM stepper motor.

2.Variable-reluctance (VR) stepper motor

The variable-reluctance (VR) stepper motor differs from the PM stepper in that it has no permanent-magnet rotor and no residual torque to hold the rotor at one position when turned off.

When the stator coils are energized, the rotor teeth will align with the energized stator poles. This type of motor operates on the principle of minimizing the reluctance along the path of the applied magnetic field. By alternating the windings that are energized in the stator, the stator field changes, and the rotor is moved to a new position.

The stator of a variable-reluctance stepper motor has a magnetic core constructed with a stack of steel laminations. The rotor is made of unmagnetized

soft steel with teeth and slots.

The relationship among step angle, rotor teeth, and stator teeth is expressed using the following equation:

Page 46: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

46

------(1) In this circuit, the rotor is shown with fewer teeth than the stator. This ensures that

only one set of stator and rotor teeth will align at any given instant. The stator coils are energized in groups referred to as phases.

According to above Eq., the rotor will turn 30° each time a pulse is applied.

Figure (a) shows the position of the rotor when phase A is energized. As long as

phase A is energized, the rotor will be held stationary.

Fig.4

• When phase A is switched off and phase B is energized, the rotor will turn 30° until two poles of the rotor are aligned under the north and south poles established by phase B.

47

• By repeating this pattern, the motor will rotate in a clockwise direction. The direction of the motor is changed by reversing the pattern of turning ON and OFF each phase.

• The disadvantage of this design for a stepper motor is that the steps are generally quite large (above 15°).

• Multistack stepper motors can produce smaller step sizes because the motor

is divided along its axial length into magnetically isolated sections, or stacks.

STUDY OF SYNCHROS

AIM: To study the characteristics of Synchros.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

THEORY:

A Synchro is an electro-magnetic transducer used to convert an angular

position of a shaft into an electrical signal. It is commercially known as a Selsyn or an Autosyn. The basic element of a synchro is a synchro transmitter whose construction is very similar to that of a 3 phase Alternator. The stator is of concentric coil type, in which three identical coils are placed with their axis 120˚ apart, and is star connected. The rotor is of dumb bell shaped construction and is wound with a concentric coil. AC voltage is applied to the rotor winding through slip rings.

Fig.1 Constructional Features of Synchro Transmitter

The constructional features and schematic diagram of a synchro transmitter and receiver is shown in fig.1. Let an AC voltage Vc(t) = Vr Sin ωt be applied to the rotor of the synchro transmitter. The applied voltage causes a flow of a magnetizing current in the rotor coil, which produces a sinusoidal time varying flux directed along its axis and distributed nearly sinusoidally in the air gap along the stator periphery. Because of transformer action, voltages are induced in each of the stator coils. As the air gap flux is sinusoidally distributed, the flux linking any stator coil is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the rotor and stator coil axis, and so is the voltage induced in the stator coil. Thus, we see that synchro transmitter acts like a single-

Page 54: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

54

phase transformer in which the rotor coil is the primary and stator coil is the secondary.

Fig .2 Schematic Diagram of Synchro Transmitter

Let Vs1, Vs2 & Vs3 be the voltage induced in the stator coils S1,S2 and S3 with respect to the neutral. Then, for the rotor position of the synchro transmitter shown in the fig. 2 where the rotor axis makes an angle θ with the axis of the stator coil S2

Vs1 = K Vr Sinωt Cos ( θ + 120 ) ---------------------------- (1)

Vs2 = K Vr Sinωt Cos ( θ ) ----------------------------------(2)

Vs3 =K Vr Sinωt Cos ( θ + 240 ) ----------------------------(3)

The three terminal voltages of stator are

Vs1s2 = Vs1 - Vs2 =√3 KVr Sin( θ + 240 ) Sin ωt -----------------------(4)

Vs2s3 = Vs2 - Vs3 = √3 KVr Sin( θ + 120 ) Sin ωt ----------------------(5)

Vs3s1 = Vs3 - Vs1 =√3 KVr Sin(θ) Sin ωt -----------------------(6) When θ = 0, from equations (1), (2) and (3), it is seen that the maximum voltage is induced in the stator coil S2 , while it follows from the equation (6) from that the terminal voltage Vs3s1 is zero . This position of the rotor is defined as the “electrical zero” of the transmitter and is used as reference for specifying the angular position of the rotor. The input to the synchro transmitter is the angular position of its rotor shaft and the output is a set of 3 single-phase voltages given by equations (4) to (6). The magnitude of these voltages is function of the shaft position. The outputs of the synchro transmitter are applied to the stator windings of a “synchro control transformer”. The rotor of the control transformer is cylindrical in shape so

that the air gap is practically uniform. The system acts as an error detector. Circulating currents of the same phase but of different magnitude flow through the

two sets of stator coils. This results in the establishment of an identical flux pattern in the gap at the control transformer as the voltage drop in resistances and leakage

reactances of the two sets of stator coils are usually small. The voltage induced in the

Page 55: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

55

control transformer rotor is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the two rotors (φ) and is given by

E(t) = K1 Vr Cos φ Sin ωt

When φ =900, the voltage induced in the control transformer is zero. This position is

known as electrical zero position of the control transformer.

DESIGN OF COMPENSATOR NETWORKS

AIM:

To design a compensator network for the process given in the Process Control

Simulator.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

THEORY:

Practical feedback control systems are often required to satisfy design specification in the transient as well as steady state regions. This is not possible by selecting good quality components alone (due to basic limitations and characteristics of these components). Cascade compensation is most commonly used for this purpose and design of compensation networks figures prominently in any course in automatic control systems.

In general, there are two situations in which compensation is required. In the first case the system is absolutely unstable and the compensation is required to stabilize it as well as to achieve a specified performance. In the second case the system is stable but the compensation is required to obtain the desired performance. The systems which are of type 2 or higher are usually unstable. For these systems, lead compensator is required, because the lead compensator increases the margin of stability. For type 1 and type 0 systems stable operation is always possible. If the gain

is sufficiently reduced, in such cases, any of three components viz. Lag, Lead, Lag – Lead must be used to obtain the desired performance. The simulation of this behavior

of the Lead – Lag Compensator can be done with the module (VLLN – OI). An electronic Lead - lag network using Operational amplifiers is given

Page 58: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

58

The transfer function for this circuit can be obtained as follows :

Let Z1 = R1 C1

The second op-amp acts as a sign inverter with a variable gain to compensate for

the magnitude. The transfer function of the entire system is given by

G(jω) = ( R4 R2/ R3 R1 ) (1+R1C1s) / (1+R2 C2 s)

G(jω) = ( R4 R2/ R3 R1 ) ( √1+T12ω2) / ( √1+T2

2ω2 )

where T1 = R1 C1 ; T2 = R2 C2

φ = angle G(jω) = - tan-1

(T1ω) – tan-1

(T2ω).

Thus steady state output is

For an input =X sinωt,

Yss(t) =X (R4 R2/ R3 R1) (( √1+T12ω2

) / ( √1+T22ω2

))sin(wt – tan-1

T1ω –tan-1

T2ω

)

From this expression, we find that if T1 > T2, then tan-1 T1ω –tan-1 T2ω > 0.

Thus if T1 > T2 , then the network is a LEAD NETWORK.

If T1 < T2 , then the network is a LAG NETWORK.

DETERMINATION OF VALUES FOR ANGLE COMPENSATION:

Frequency of sine wave = 20 Hz

Angle to be compensated = 70º

φ= tan-1

(2π f * T1) –tan

-1 (2π f *

T2)

T1 = 10, then substituting in above equation

70 - tan-1

(2 * π * 20 * 10) –tan-1

(2 * π * 20 *T2)

solving for T2

T2 = 0.003 .

Hence, the values of T1 and T2 are chosen from which values of R1 ,C1 , R2 and C2

can be determined .

For example, T1 =R1 C1 = 10 ; If C1= 1µF, then R1 = 10 MΩ.

T2 = 0.003 = R2 C2 then C2 =1 µF, and hence R2 = 3 MΩ.

These values produce a phase lead of 70º which is the desired compensation angle.

Nominal Value for R1 =1 MΩ C1 = 0.1 µF

R2 =20 KΩ C2 = 0.01 µF

STUDY OF P, PI, PID CONTROLLERS AIM:

To study the P, PI, PID controller using MATLAB software .

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

THEORY:

The transient response of a practical control system often exhibits damped oscillation before reaching steady state value. In specifying the transient response

characteristics of control systems to unit step input, it is common to specify the following

i) Delay Time(Td) ii) Rise time(Tr)

iii) Peal time( Tp) iv) Max. overshoot (Mp)

v) Settling time( Ts)

Proportional control:

The output of the controller is proportional to input U(t) = Kp e(t)

E(t) = error signal U(t) controller out[put Kp = proportional constant

• It amplifies the error signal and increases loop gain. Hence steady state tracking accuracy , disturbance signal rejection and relative stability are

improved.

• Its drawbacks are low sensitivity to parameter variation and it produces

constant steady state error.

Proportional + Integral Control:

The output of the PI controller is given by t

U(t) = Kp [ e(t) + (1/Ti )∫ e(t) dt ] 0

where Kp is the proportionality constant and Ti is called the integral time.

• This controller is also called RESET controller.

• It introduces a zero in the system and increases the order by 1.

• The type number of open loop system is increased by 1

Page 62: EE 2257-Control Systems Lab Manual

62

• It eliminates steady state error. Damping ratio remains same.

• Increase in order decreases the stability of system.

Proportional + Integral Control + Differential Control:

The output of a PID controller is given by

t

U(t) = Kp [ e(t) + (1/Ti )∫ e(t) dt + Td de(t)/dt ] 0

The PID controller introduces a zero in the system and increases the damping. This reduces peak overshoot and reduces rise time. Due to increase in damping, ultimately peak overshoot reduces.

The stability of the system improves. In PID controller, all effects are combined. Proportional control stabilizes gain

but produces steady state error. Integral control eliminates error. Derivative controller reduces rate of change of error.

TUNING OF PID CONTROLLERS

Proportional-integral-differential (PID) controllers are commonly employed in

process control industries. Hence we shall present various techniques of tuning PID controllers to achieve certain performance index for systems dynamic response. The

technique to be adopted for determining the proportional, integral and derivative constants of the controller depends upon the dynamic response of the plant.

In presenting the various tuning techniques we shall assume the basic control configuration, wherein the controller input is the error between the desired output and the actual output. This error is manipulated by the controller (PID) to produce a command signal for the plant according to the relationship.

U(s)=Kp (1+(1/sτi)+sτd) Where Kp= proportional gain constant

τI= integral time constant.

τd= Derivative time constant. PROCEDURE:

1. Give the step input to the system selected and obtain the response using CRO.

2. For the obtained response (S-shaped curve), draw a tangent at the inflection point and find its intersection with the time axis and the line corresponding to the steady-state value of the output.

3. Find the dead time L where the tangent cutting X- axis, and the time constant T which is specified in model graph.

4. From the value of L and T, find the value of Kp, τI and τd settings by using

the following formulas: Kp = 1.2(T/L) , τI = 2L and τd = 0.5L.

5. Connect the unknown system in closed loop with the help of a PID controller and substitute all those values obtained in the previous step.
