FOUR QUADRANT DC MOTOR CONTROL WITHOUT

MICROCONTROLLER

ABSTRACT:

The aim of the project is to develop a control system for DC motor in four-quadrant operation.
Using a built in H-bridge driver IC it is possible to demonstrate forward &reverse motoring and
braking.
The operation of DC motor is directly proportional to armature voltage polarity and inversely
proportional to flux. By maintaining the flux constant, the direction can be changed by reversing the
armature voltage.
In this project, we use a small FHP (Fractional Horse Power) DC motor whose field comprises
of a permanent magnet. The armature of that is excited by the driver IC as stated.
The system is provided with various control keys, such as START, STOP, FORWARD,
REVERSE, FORWARD BRAKE, and REVERSE BRAKE. Using these keys, the user can set the
motor to run in any one of the following modes, namely Forward motoring, Reverse motoring, Forward
braking and reverse braking.
Using time IC 555 in monostabe to impose reverse voltage to a running motor for a very short
time results in immediate stop that happens both during forward and reverse run of the motor by the
motor driver IC
