  • In a Mechanical System, a Differential
    RADAR CIRCUIT ANALYSIS 13-14 THE DIFFERENTIAL SElSYN In a mechanical system, a differential con- 52 nects three shafts together in such a way that the amount that one shaft turns is equal to the dif- zsv ference between the amounts that the other two turn. The differential selsyn is named according to the two functions it performs. If the shaft of the differential selsyn serves to indicate the differ- ence in shafts positions of two other selsyns, the other two selsyns are generators and the differ- ential selsyn is a motor. If the differential selsyn shaft position is to be subtracted from that of a 53 selsyn generator (or vice versa) and the differ- ence to be indicated by the rotor position of a i----OV---o-i motor, the differential selsyn is then a generator. ~---OV--~~_-4 ~ The stator of the differential generator or motor is very similar to the stator of the ordi- nary selsyn.

    EE 3TP4: Signals and Systems Lab 5: Control of a Servomechanism Tim Davidson Ext. 27352 [email protected] Objective To identify the plant model of a servomechanism, and explore the trade-off between rise time and overshoot incurred in proportional control of the servo(mechanism). Assessment Your mark for this lab will be assessed on your ability to complete each section. The marks for each section are indicated at the beginning of the section. Please demonstrate your results to the TAs and have your mark recorded. Please attend the lab section to which you have been assigned. 1 Description of Laboratory Equipment In this lab we will deal with an angular positioning system based around a DC motor. Such schemes are often used to position heavy or difficult to move objects using a ‘command tool’ which is easy to move. For example, moving the control surfaces of an aircraft using the lever in the cockpit. In our system, the plant is the motor (and its associated electronics). The input to the plant is a control signal c(t) and the output of the plant is a voltage which is proportional to the angle of the motor shaft, θ(t). Using information about the structure of the motor and Newtonian mechanics, the operation of the motor can be described by the following differential equation: d2θ(t) dθ(t) J + B = Kmc(t); (1) dt2 dt where J is the rotational inertia of the motor, B is the damping in the motor structure, and Km is the (internal) gain of the motor.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The Servo Trigger is a small board that helps you deploy hobby RC servo motors. When an external switch or logic signal changes state, the Servo Trigger tells an attached servo motor to move from position A to position B. The Servo Trigger in action. To use the Servo Trigger, you simply connect a hobby servo and a switch, then use the onboard potentiometers to adjust the start/stop positions and transition time. You can use a hobby servos in your projects without having to do any programming! In This Tutorial This hookup guide starts with some background information about hobby servo motors. From there, it jumps into getting the Servo Trigger working with a small servo, then examines some of the inner workings. Finally, for the adventurous, it explains how to customize the Servo Trigger by reprogramming it. Servo Motor Background In the most generic sense, a “servomechanism” (servo for short) is a device that uses feedback to achieve the desired result. Feedback control is used in many different disciplines, controlling parameters such as speed, position, and temperature. In the context we are discussing here, we are talking about hobby or radio-control servo motors. These are small motors primarily used for steering radio-controlled vehicles. Because the position is easily controllable, they are also useful for robotics and animatronics. However, they shouldn’t be confused with other types of servo motors, such as the large ones used in industrial machinery. An Assortment of Hobby Servos RC servos are reasonably standardized - they are all a similar shape, with mounting flanges at each end, available in graduated sizes.

This is often used in robotic applications. The word ‘servo’ comes from the Latin word servus meaning servant or slave. Thus the servo motor is intended to react to a given command, for example a desired position or velocity. In order for the motor to be called a servo motor it has to be equipped with a velocity and position measurement unit and motor driver. It may also include a simple servo motor controller. The main features distinguishing servo motors from normal motors are: • minimized rotor inertia, • minimized armature inductance, • improved withstand voltage and magnet saturation, • designed to withstand sudden acceleration and high frequency operation. The PMS unit allows for the design of different servo motor controllers and to test them in real time using the Matlab and Simulink environment. 1 Figure 1: Precision Modular Servo mechanical unit 2 Description The description of the PMS setup in this section refers mostly to the mechanical part and the control aspect. For details of the mechanical and electrical connection, the interface and an explanation of how the signals are measured and transferred to the PC, refer to the “Installation & Commissioning” manual.

Therefore, the development of a more efficient control strategy that can be used for the control of a DC servomotor system, and a well defined mathematical model that can be used for off line simulation are essential for this type of systems Servomotor systems are known to have nonlinear parameters and dynamic factors, such as backlash, dead zone and Coulomb friction that make the systems hard to control using conventional control methods such as PID controllers. Also, the dynamics of the servomotor and outside factors add more complexity to the analysis of the system, for example when the load attached to the control system changes.

In fact, this is called, “the basic regulator problem,” i.e., making the output position of a relatively massive device follow a low-power input signal by addition of position feedback and a power amplifier. Often the perfor- mance can be further improved by adding to the outer position feedback loop an inner velocity feedback loop. Since the position is often the angular position of a shaft, the angular velocity will be measured by a tachometer and the inner loop is then called the “tachometer feedback loop.” Virtually every undergraduate controls textbook discusses tachometer feedback performance improve- ment, including Ogata, Modern Control Engineering, 5th edition, page 164. 1 3ExperimentalSetup 8 Kd − 3ExperimentalSetupR(s) Y (s) G(s) 1/ s − 3.1 Overview K The electro-hydraulic system used in this experiments isp the EHS160 (FEEDBACK IN- STRUMENTS LTD).
