Setting and Analyzing Operating Point for Speed Controlled System

Apparatus:

Dc power supply, Dc voltmeter, LUCAS_NULLEL@ Soft.unitrain experimenter,

Speed control trainer card model S04201-5V, ADC connector, connecting wires.

Objective:

To find the operating point of a speed control system.

Theory:

“Operating point is actually the difference between actual value and reference
value”. The operating point is specific point for the variable with in the operation
characteristic of a device.

Speed Controller:

“A Device used to control speed at some specific value is called a speed controller”.

For example a fan with regulator is a speed controller device.

The block diagram shown below is the speed controlled control system in which a
voltage is applied at the input Ys of the motor and this voltage is proportional to the
speed of the fan which is obtained at the output Xs

This above block diagram shows the speed controlled system in which the motor is
connected with the converter where speed is converted to TTL level and then in the
second block contain another converter called frequency to voltage converter in
which the frequency is converted into voltage.

Procedure:
1. Set the circuit according to the fig.
2. Activate the DC Source
3. Firsrt set to the level of 5V
4. If the motor is not running to that voltage the increase the value of voltage to
start the motor then brought that value again to 5V.
5. Activate the plotter known as time tracer as shown below.

Application:
It is important in the case when we want to keep constanr a
desired speed even when motor is subjected to loads of varying degree.
