Title:
Perceive the effect of closing the loop on the steady state performance, stiffness, response time
and frequency response of control system.
Objectives:
Apparatus Required:
✓ MS-15 DC Motor Module
✓ AS-3 Command Potentiometer
✓ CLIO Interface Module with PC connection leads
✓ System Power supply
✓ 4mm Connection Leads
✓ PC running VCL (Visual Control Laboratory) Software
Procedure:
• I started VCL software and Loaded setup | CA06PE05.
• I set all the values as shown in Table.
• The Input signal was trace 1 (dark blue), the output velocity was trace 4 (purple),
Errorwas trace 3 (dark green) and Drive was trace 5 (brown).
• I substituted Kp for G gives the forward loop gain K.G = K.Kp. The velocity voltage is
fed back directly so H = 1.
• I checked that the gain K in the gain box on the on-screen mimic is set to 1 and switched
ON the motor.
• Then I investigated how the error decreases as the gain is increased. With the Reference
Velocity set to 2.5 volts (50%), I measured the Output Velocity and Error as the gain is
increased. Input Voltage, V =2.5 volts,
• Plant gain Kp = 0.92
