Speed and cascade position control of brushed DC motor

In Industrial automation systems, Especially, high efficiency speed and position control like as CNCs and robotic applications are very important. Aforementioned high efficiency motion control can be possible by advanced process control techniques like feedforward control, cascade control, adaptive control e.t.c. In this thesis, firstly, tacogenerator was used for speed measurement and optical encoder was used for angular position measurement. In addition, brush dc motor speed and position control experiment set was carried out. As well as angular position and speed control and linear position control can be practiced by performed experiment set. In the first part of thesis, PID-based speed and position control and linear cascade position control applications were achieved by using mathematical model of DC motor which was obtained experimentally. Performed controller designs were simulated with Matlab. In the second part of thesis, control algorithms were performed with experiment set in real time and PLC-based, which were simulated on Matlab. Simulation and experimental results were obtained by aforementioned algorithms which were used for essential performance analysis.
