1. Objectives
Introduction Feedback Servo Trainer
Operational Amplifier Characteristics
Understanding DC Motor Characteristics using Feedback Servo Trainer
Power Supply
Mechanical Unit
Analogue Unit
i. Power Supply
Power supply consists of following terminals; On/Off switch, Ground (GND), +5V,
+15 V, 0V and -15V. These terminals are attached with Mechanical unit which is
then connects with the Analogue unit.

Vary P3 from 0-100 and note that any change in Ve represents the input
signal required to drive the amplifier.

Increase V1 to 10V and the amplifier output will limit (refuse to change
further) at about -12 to -13V.
xi.
Exercise 1: Complete the table below with at least 5 readings with different
V1 at different gains and calculate the output. Explain the function of OPAmp in context of above readings and also explain why OP-Amp limits its
output to -12V.

Set the gain potentiometer, P1, and P3 to zero. Reconfigure the feedback
resistor Ro to 100K and add the connections shown as shadow lines fig 2.4.
ii.
Check that rotating the input potentiometer in the Mechanical Unit gives up
to about 10V at the i socket.

Vo = - (V1 + V2)
vi.
Check that various combinations of V1 and V2, some with opposite polarities,
give the expected value of Vo. Note that nominal 10V is regarded as the
maximum working output of the amplifier.
vii.
Set P1 and P3 to zero and make the connections shown in the patching diagram.
ii.
Set the frequency to 10Hz and arrange to display the output Vo.
iii.
iv.
Then set P1 and P3 to 50 and decide whether the displayed Vo is correct for the
addition of both signals.
v.
Slightly increase P1 and P3 and note that the waveform peaks limit as the
amplifier is being momentarily overloaded.
vi.
The results indicate that it is very important to consider the full range of possible
output when AC signals are being added.

Exercise 2: Explain how the Signals are added using OP-Amp, briefly describe
its mathematics and enlist the attributes of the two AC signals which must be
same so that these two signals can be added.
ii.
Use the DVM on the 33-100 for voltage measurements. For each measurement
set up the required steady state then switch between DVM and RPM.

By setting SW1 and varying P3, make a plot of motor speed against amplifier
input, in the range 10V, scaling the vertical axis in units of 1000 r/min. The plot
should have the general shape of fig 3.4(a).
iv.
Initially the motor speed increases substantially linearly with the voltage to the
amplifier because the motor back emf Vb, see fig 3.1(a), approximately equals
the amplifier output, but finally the amplifier limits before the full 10V input is
reached.
Note: Since the reduction to the output shaft is 32:1, the motor speed is
calculated by multiplying the r/min reading by 32. e.g. a reading of 31.25 = a
motor speed of 1000 r/min.
Exercise 4: Record RPM at different voltages from -10V to 10V with a step of 2
in table below; Plot the Voltage to RPM graph using MATLAB (Make M-file to
plot).

When the motor is loaded the speed falls, the back emf falls, and the armature current
increases and the voltage drop in the armature resistance. Hence, if the motor is loaded
so that the speed falls, the armature current increases, the general characteristic being
as the solid lines in figure 5 (b). If the armature resistance is low, which is the situation
for a normal motor, the current increases greatly, as shown dotted, for a small change in
speed. The proper operating range of the motor would be up to a load corresponding
with a few percent drops in speed, perhaps to the point when the dotted current line
crosses the speed line.
Follow the steps below to complete the experiment.
i.
By adjusting P3 set the motor speed to 2000 r/min (62.5 r/min at output), with
the brake fully upwards. Connect the DVM to the Armature Current (1volt/amp)
output on the Mechanical Unit.
Set the brake to each of its six positions in turn and for each setting record and
plot the speed and armature current. The plot should have the general form of
figure 5 (c).
Page 10
iii.
Initially the brake has little effect, but then the speed falls sharply and the
armature current increases. With greater loading the back emf would become
small and the current would be limited by the armature resistance.

reverse direction dissipating energy and slowing the motor. This is illustrated in the
right-hand portion of (b).
ii.
Set the power amplifier zero adjustment to run the motor at maximum
speed in one direction.
iii.
Turn up P3 and the square-wave signal will speed up and slow down the
motor.
iv.
Adjust P3 until the motor is stationary for one half cycle. This corresponds
with Va in figure 6 (b).
v.
The oscilloscope will now display the speed corresponding with Va in figure 6
(b).
