Abstract— The purpose was to achieve accurate trajectory control of the speed, specially when motor and load
parameters are unknown It has been observed that one of the major challenges in speed control of dc motor is to
reduce rise time as well as peak overshoot.introduced an artificial neural network based high performance speed
control system for a dc motor. Performance of the identification and control algorithms was evaluated by simulating
them on a typical dc motor model.
Keywords- Membership function (MF) ), proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID), fuzzy logic controller(FLC)
I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
DC machines play an important role in industries and in our
daily life. The outstanding advantage of DC machines is that
they offer easily controllable characteristics. Their main
disadvantage is high initial investment. In spite of this, DC
machines still hold a strong competitive position for
industrial applications because of their attractive features.
Large DC motors are used in machine tools, printing press,
conveyors, pumps, hoists cranes, paper mills and so forth.
Small DC Machines (in fraction horse power rating) are used
preliminary as control devices such as tacho-generators for
speed sensing and servo motors for positioning and tracking.
DC Motors still dominate traction motors used in transit cars
and locomotives as torque speed characteristics of DC
motors can be varied over a wide range while retaining high
efficiency. DC Motors possess excellent torque-speed
characteristics and offer a wide range of speed control.
Though efforts are being made to obtain wide range speed
control with AC motors, yet the versatility and flexibility of
DC motor can't be matched by AC motors. Thus, the demand
for DC motors would continue undiminished even in future.
1.2 CONSTRUCTION OF DC MOTOR
The stator of dc motor has poles which are excited by dc
current to produce magnetic field. The rotor has ring shaped
laminated iron core with slots. Coils with several turns are
placed in the slots. The distance between the two legs of the
coil is about 180 electric degrees. The coils are connected in
series. To keep the torque on dc motor from reversing every
time the coil moves through the plane perpendicular to the
magnetic fields, split ring device called a commutator, is
used to reverse the current at that point. The commutator
consists of insulated copper segments mounted in a cylinder.
The electrical contacts to the rotating ring are called
“brushes”. Modern motor normally use spring loaded carbon
contacts. Two brushes are pressed to the commutators to
permit current flow. The brushes are placed in neutral zone
to reduce arcing. The stator of large DC machine consists of
several poles. The interpoles reduce the field in to the neutral
zone and eliminate the arcing of the commutator. A
compensation winding is placed on the main poles to
increase field during hard load. The iron core is supported by
cast iron frame. The rotor iron core is mounted on the shaft.
Coils are placed in the slots.
A dc motor is rarely installed in a situation where it is
required to run at a constant speed under constant load, since
an AC induction motor performs such duties satisfactorily
with cost only a fraction of price of DC machine of equal
power and speed and requires minimum maintenance. Many
simple speed variable systems are inherently stable in
operation, so that steady state behavior of DC motor is
frequently all that an engineer needs to take into
consideration. For simple system a DC shunt motor excited
from single source is often satisfactory and provides a
reasonable range of adjustable speeds and torque.
1.3 Types of dc motor
On the basis of excitation there are in general two types of
dc motors:
Separately excited
Self-excited
Separately excited dc motor
When the field winding of dc motor is connected to separate
or external DC source motor is said to be separately excited
dc motor. The voltage of external dc source has no relation
with the armature voltage.
1.3.1 Self-exited dc motor
When the field winding is excited by its own armature,
motor is said to be self-exited DC motor. A self-exited DC
motor can be sub divided into two forms. Shunt dc motor: In
this type of motor, field winding is connected in parallel or
in shunt with the armature. Therefore the voltage across
armature terminal and shunt field is same.
Series DC motor: In this type of motor, the field winding is
connected in series with armature. Therefore field current
depends on the armature current.
1.4 Principle Of Operation
In any electric motor, operation is based on simple
electromagnetism. A current carrying conductor generates a
