Controls/Lab/MotorSim

This page contains information related to the Motor Simulation lab for ME 344/ECE 382. It has been updated for Spring, 2014.

Resources

• Relevant Pundit pages
  • gzoom code
• Files for the lab are in the http://classes.pratt.duke.edu/FILES/Controls/MotorSim directory:
  • Specifications for 1624
  • Specifications for 1841
• Files you will want to copy into your OIT account for the analysis are also in the http://classes.pratt.duke.edu/FILES/Controls/MotorSim directory; you can either use a browser on UNIX and right-click these to download them or use the curl command from the UNIX terminal - for example, if you are logged into a UNIX machine, you can get the MotorLabSample_S14.tex command using the line:

  curl http://classes.pratt.duke.edu/FILES/Controls/MotorSim/MotorLabSample_S14.tex -o MotorLabSample_S14.tex
  

  You will want the following three codes:
  • MotorLabSample_S14.tex
  • OpenLoopMotor.mdl
  • ClosedLoopMotor.mdl

Typographical Errors / Clarifications

• Use capital "P" as a subscript for the proportional control and a lower case "p" as a subscript for the steady state error constant of position. For example, in Section 3.8, all the \(K_p\) represent the error constant
