System Description:
The block diagrams shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below model a simple DC motor for speed
control application. Input V(s) is the desired speed in voltage, and the output ω (s ) is the actual
speed. Tachogenerator position sensor converts the actual speed to corresponding voltage. The
amplifier, K, is used to control the speed response of the motor.
