THEORY: A pair of potentiometers is used to convert the input and output positions into proportional electrical signals. The desired position is set on the input potentiometer and the actual position is fed to feedback potentiometer. The difference between the two angular positions generates an error signal, which is amplified and fed to armature circuit of the DC motor. If an error exists , the motor develops a torque to rotate the output in such a way as to reduce the error to zero. The rotation of the motor stops when the error signal is zero, i.e., when the desired position is reached.

CLOSED LOOP AC POSITION CONTROL SYSTEM

AIM: To study the closed loop operation of AC position control system (AC Servomotor) with PI controller.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS

The rotor construction is usually of squirrel cage or drag-cup type. The squirrel cage rotor is made of laminations. The rotor bars are placed on the slots and short-circuited at both ends by end rings. The diameter of the rotor is kept small in order to reduce inertia and to obtain good accelerating characteristics. Drag cup construction is employed for very low inertia applications. In this type of construction, the rotor will be in the form of hollow cylinder made of aluminium. The aluminium cylinder itself acts as short-circuited rotor conductors.

The stator windings are excited by voltages of equal rms magnitude and 90o phase difference. This results in exciting currents i1 and i2 displaced in phase by 90 o and having identical rms values. These currents give rise to a rotating magnetic field of constant magnitude. The direction of rotation depends on the phase relationship of the two currents (or voltages). The exciting current shown in fig.2 produces a clockwise rotating magnetic field. When i1 is shifted by 180 o, an anticlockwise rotating magnetic field is produced. This rotating magnetic field sweeps over the rotor conductors. The rotor conductor experience a change in flux and so voltages are

WORKING PRINCIPLES

.e

ee

ex

The AC servomotor is a two-phase induction motor with some special design features. The stator consists of two pole pairs (A-B and C-D) mounted on the inner periphery of the stator, such that their axes are at an angle of 90o in space. Each pole pair carries a winding, one winding is called the reference winding and other winding is called the control winding. The exciting currents in the two windings should have a phase displacement of 90o. The supply used to drive the motor is single-phase and hence a phase advancing capacitor is connected to one of the phases to produce a phase difference of 90 o. The stator constructional features of AC servomotor are shown in fig.1.

Due to the interaction of stator & rotor flux, a mechanical force (or Torque) is developed in the rotor and the rotor starts moving in the same direction as that of rotating magnetic field.

STEPPER MOTOR Aim:

To study the Stepper motor

Theory:
Stepper motors are highly accurate pulse-driven motors that change their angular position in steps, in response to input pulses from digitally controlled systems. A stepper or stepping motor converts electronic pulses into proportionate mechanical movement. Each revolution of the stepper motor's shaft is made up of a series of discrete individual steps. A step is defined as the angular rotation produced by the output shaft each time the motor receives a step pulse. These types of motors are very popular in digital control circuits, such as robotics, because they are ideally suited for receiving digital pulses for step control. Each step causes the shaft to rotate a certain number of degrees. A step angle represents the rotation of the output shaft caused by each step, measured in degrees. Figure.1. illustrates a simple application for a stepper motor. Each time the controller receives an input signal, the paper is driven a certain incremental distance.

In addition to the paper drive mechanism in a printer, stepper motors are also popular in machine tools, process control systems, tape and disk drive systems, and programmable controllers.

45 The Common Features of stepper motors are Brushless Stepper motors are brushless. The commentator and brushes of conventional motors are some of the most failure-prone components, and they create electrical arcs that are undesirable or dangerous in some environments. Load Independent Stepper motors will turn at a set speed regardless of load as long as the load does not exceed the torque rating for the motor. Open Loop Positioning Stepper motors move in quantified increments or steps. As long as the motor runs within its torque specification, the position of the shaft is known at all times without the need for a feedback mechanism. Holding Torque Stepper motors are able to hold the shaft stationary. Excellent response to start-up, stopping and reverse.

1. Permanent-magnet stepper motor

The teeth on the rotor surface and the stator pole faces are offset so that there will be only a limited number of rotor teeth aligning themselves with an energized stator pole. The number of teeth on the rotor and stator determine the step angle that will occur each time the polarity of the winding is reversed. The greater the number of teeth, the smaller the step angle.

2.Variable-reluctance (VR) stepper motor

The variable-reluctance (VR) stepper motor differs from the PM stepper in that it has no permanent-magnet rotor and no residual torque to hold the rotor at one position when turned off. When the stator coils are energized, the rotor teeth will align with the energized stator poles. This type of motor operates on the principle of minimizing the reluctance along the path of the applied magnetic field. By alternating the windings that are energized in the stator, the stator field changes, and the rotor is moved to a new position. The stator of a variable-reluctance stepper motor has a magnetic core constructed with a stack of steel laminations. The rotor is made of unmagnetized soft steel with teeth and slots. The relationship among step angle, rotor teeth, and stator teeth is expressed using the following equation:

.e

ee

ex

An important characteristic of the PM stepper motor is that it can maintain the holding torque indefinitely when the rotor is stopped. Figure (a) shows a permanent magnet stepper motor with four stator windings. By pulsing the stator coils in a desired sequence, it is possible to control the speed and direction of the motor. Figure (b) shows the timing diagram for the pulses required to rotate the PM stepper motor.

In this circuit, the rotor is shown with fewer teeth than the stator. This ensures that only one set of stator and rotor teeth will align at any given instant. The stator coils are energized in groups referred to as phases. According to above Eq., the rotor will turn 30 each time a pulse is applied. Figure (a) shows the position of the rotor when phase A is energized. As long as phase A is energized, the rotor will be held stationary.

When phase A is switched off and phase B is energized, the rotor will turn 30 until two poles of the rotor are aligned under the north and south poles established by phase B.

48 By repeating this pattern, the motor will rotate in a clockwise direction. The direction of the motor is changed by reversing the pattern of turning ON and OFF each phase. The disadvantage of this design for a stepper motor is that the steps are generally quite large (above 15). Multistack stepper motors can produce smaller step sizes because the motor is divided along its axial length into magnetically isolated sections, or stacks.

STUDY OF SYNCHROS
AIM: To study the characteristics of Synchros. APPARATUS REQUIRED:

The constructional features and schematic diagram of a synchro transmitter and receiver is shown in fig.1. Let an AC voltage Vc(t) = Vr Sin t be applied to the rotor of the synchro transmitter. The applied voltage causes a flow of a magnetizing current in the rotor coil, which produces a sinusoidal time varying flux directed along its axis and distributed nearly sinusoidally in the air gap along the stator periphery. Because of transformer action, voltages are induced in each of the stator coils. As the air gap flux is sinusoidally distributed, the flux linking any stator coil is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the rotor and stator coil axis, and so is the voltage induced in the stator coil. Thus, we see that synchro transmitter acts like a single-

A Synchro is an electro-magnetic transducer used to convert an angular position of a shaft into an electrical signal. It is commercially known as a Selsyn or an Autosyn. The basic element of a synchro is a synchro transmitter whose construction is very similar to that of a 3 phase Alternator. The stator is of concentric coil type, in which three identical coils are placed with their axis 120 apart, and is star connected. The rotor is of dumb bell shaped construction and is wound with a concentric coil. AC voltage is applied to the rotor winding through slip rings.

The three terminal voltages of stator are

When = 0, from equations (1), (2) and (3), it is seen that the maximum voltage is induced in the stator coil S2 , while it follows from the equation (6) from that the terminal voltage Vs3s1 is zero . This position of the rotor is defined as the electrical zero of the transmitter and is used as reference for specifying the angular position of the rotor. The input to the synchro transmitter is the angular position of its rotor shaft and the output is a set of 3 single-phase voltages given by equations (4) to (6). The magnitude of these voltages is function of the shaft position. The outputs of the synchro transmitter are applied to the stator windings of a synchro control transformer. The rotor of the control transformer is cylindrical in shape so that the air gap is practically uniform. The system acts as an error detector. Circulating currents of the same phase but of different magnitude flow through the two sets of stator coils. This results in the establishment of an identical flux pattern in the gap at the control transformer as the voltage drop in resistances and leakage reactances of the two sets of stator coils are usually small.

DESIGN OF COMPENSATOR NETWORKS

AIM: To design a compensator network for the process given in the Process Control Simulator. APPARATUS REQUIRED:

THEORY:

Practical feedback control systems are often required to satisfy design specification in the transient as well as steady state regions. This is not possible by selecting good quality components alone (due to basic limitations and characteristics of these components). Cascade compensation is most commonly used for this purpose and design of compensation networks figures prominently in any course in automatic control systems. In general, there are two situations in which compensation is required. In the first case the system is absolutely unstable and the compensation is required to stabilize it as well as to achieve a specified performance. In the second case the system is stable but the compensation is required to obtain the desired performance. The systems which are of type 2 or higher are usually unstable. For these systems, lead compensator is required, because the lead compensator increases the margin of stability. For type 1 and type 0 systems stable operation is always possible. If the gain is sufficiently reduced, in such cases, any of three components viz. Lag, Lead, Lag Lead must be used to obtain the desired performance. The simulation of this behavior of the Lead Lag Compensator can be done with the module (VLLN OI). An electronic Lead - lag network using Operational amplifiers is given figure 1. C2

60 The transfer function for this circuit can be obtained as follows : Let Z1 = R1 C1

The second op-amp acts as a sign inverter with a variable gain to compensate for the magnitude. The transfer function of the entire system is given by G(j) = ( R4 R2/ R3 R1 ) (1+R1C1s) / (1+R2 C2 s) G(j) = ( R4 R2/ R3 R1 ) ( 1+T122) / ( 1+T222 ) where T1 = R1 C1 ; T2 = R2 C2 = angle G(j) = - tan-1(T1) tan-1(T2). Thus steady state output is For an input =X sint, Yss(t) =X (R4 R2/ R3 R1) (( 1+T122) / ( 1+T222 ))sin(wt tan-1 T1 tan-1 T2 ) From this expression, we find that if T1 > T2, then tan-1 T1 tan-1 T2 > 0. Thus if T1 > T2 , then the network is a LEAD NETWORK. If T1 < T2 , then the network is a LAG NETWORK.

Angle to be compensated = 70

Hence, the values of T1 and T2 are chosen from which values of R1 ,C1 , R2 and C2 can be determined . For example, T1 =R1 C1 = 10 ; If C1= 1F, then R1 = 10 M .

These values produce a phase lead of 70 which is the desired compensation angle. Nominal Value for R1 =1 M R2 =20 K C1 = 0.1 F C2 = 0.01 F

T2 = 0.003 .

solving for T2

T2 = 0.003 = R2 C2 then C2 =1 F, and hence R2 = 3 M .

Proportional + Integral Control + Differential Control: The output of a PID controller is given by t U(t) = Kp [ e(t) + (1/Ti ) e(t) dt + Td de(t)/dt ] 0 The PID controller introduces a zero in the system and increases the damping. This reduces peak overshoot and reduces rise time. Due to increase in damping, ultimately peak overshoot reduces. The stability of the system improves. In PID controller, all effects are combined. Proportional control stabilizes gain but produces steady state error. Integral control eliminates error. Derivative controller reduces rate of change of error.

PROCEDURE:

1. Give the step input to the system selected and obtain the response using CRO. 2. For the obtained response (S-shaped curve), draw a tangent at the inflection point and find its intersection with the time axis and the line corresponding to the steady-state value of the output. 3. Find the dead time L where the tangent cutting X- axis, and the time constant T which is specified in model graph. 4. From the value of L and T, find the value of Kp, I and d settings by using the following formulas: Kp = 1.2(T/L) , I = 2L and d = 0.5L. 5.
