A.C. Position Control![]() We offer A.C. Position Control System usefull in control laboratory experiment. 2-phase ac servomotors have been traditionally used for position/ speed control applications especially in light weight, precision instrumentation area in airborne systems. The present unit is designed around a 12V ac servomotor and exposes the basic characteristics and dynamics of a position control system. A block diagram of the system is shown in figure below. Besides introducing the basic features like balanced modulation of the error signal, phase reversal around the set point and phase difference between the reference and control phases of the motor, the experiment involves study of the step response of the closed loop system. Being a mechanical system the response is too slow for a comfortable viewing on a CRO, except on an expensive storage oscilloscope. A microprocessor based waveform capture/ display card in the unit stores the step response in real time and displays the same once steady state is reached. Highlights of Equipment:
A.C. Servomotor Study![]() We offer A.C. Servomotor Study usefull for control laboratory experiments. Two phase a.c. servomotor is one of the very important electromechanical actuators having applications in the area of control systems. The study of its operating principle and features form a part of the first course on automatic control systems in electrical engineering curriculum. It's small size, low inertia and almost noise and frictionless operation makes the a.c. servomotor particularly attractive in aircraft and spacecraft applications. The characteristics of an a.c. motor is usually non-linear. To simplify the analysis a linearized model is developed. The experimental work revolves around determination of the parameters of the motor and thus its transfer function. Important subsystems of the unit includes, (a) an integrated speed sensor with 4-digit display in r.p.m. (b) an electrical loading system to compute torque (c) a time-constant measurement circuit with 3-digit display in milli seconds (d) a three step a.c. source with built-in r.m.s. voltmeter, and (e) a digital voltmeter on the panel for load measurement The unit has been designed such that expensive equipment like storage CRO is not needed. Also the hassle of direct torque measurement using spring balance etc. is avoided by linearization of the motor characteristics analytically. Highlights of Equipment

D.C. Motor Study![]() We offer D.C. Motor Study usefull in control laboratory experiment. A d.c. motor is commonly used as an actuator in many industrial control applications because of its features – large torque and ease of speed variation. The dynamic characteristics of such a system therefore depends on the motor parameters, viz., moment of inertia, coefficient of friction, time constant and also the resistance and inductance of the control winding. It is therefore important to experimentally determine the mechanical and electrical parameters of the d.c. motor and also to evaluate its transfer function. The present unit is designed to study a small permanent magnet d.c. motor. A still smaller generator directly coupled to the motor is used for the dual purposes of speed signal pick up and providing electrical loading. The shaft speed in rpm is displayed automatically on a 4-digit panel meter. When the motor is suddenly switched ON, a novel circuit computes and displays the time constant in milliseconds on a 3-digit panel meter. This avoids the need for an expensive storage CRO. The motor unit is housed in a cabinet with transparent panels, providing a good view of the mechanical system. Highlights of Equipment:

Study Of Magnetic Levitation System![]() We offer Study of Magnetic Levitation System useful for control labs. Magnetic Levitation, lifting of objects under the influence of a magnetic field, has numerous application including some advance locomotives designed on the repulsive force of a magnet. The present unit, based on the attractive force of an electromagnet, is inherently unstable. There is no way to keep an iron object suspended in air by manually adjusting the current in the electromagnet. Even a feedback control with forward path gain control alone is ineffective. These facts are brought out by studying and experimenting with the dynamics of the system. The next task consists of the design of suitable controller and implementing the same to achieve the desired objective.

Second order networks are important because of the fact that these are the simplest networks that produce the complete range of transient response – from over damping to near oscillations. Although theoretical discussions are normally confined to passive RLC networks, such networks are limited in their performance due to the rather large resistance of any reasonable value inductance that might be constructed to operate at frequencies of few kHz. In the present unit active RC-network has been designed which span the complete behavior of an equivalent passive RLC network. The user thus has the experience of studying a near ideal passive second order network complete with all theoretical computations and their experimental verifications. >>Highlights
