Objective:
This report aims to investigate fundamental control system concepts using a DC motor. The
investigation includes analyzing open and closed-loop control, understanding the impact of gain,
and determining key performance characteristics such as steady-state error and settling time.

B) Proportional Position Control:

Kc Observation and comments

0.8 Overshoot-20%. Settling Time-0.8

2 Overshoot -75%, Settling Time -1.15

Comment: Here when we increase the value of Kc that means we increase the gain. When Kc
is 0.8v it takes less time to reach final value because overshoot is lower that means it
overestimate the final value but not so much. But when Kc is high it overestimate the value
which is very much higher then final value that’s whu overshoot is higher and it takes long time
to settle after oscillation.
Transient Response by changing loads at Kc=2 Overshoot is 40% and Settling time is 0.75s
The transient response is influenced by the load. Adjusting the gain for optimal transient
response under one load condition may lead to poor performance under another. For instance,
a heavily loaded elevator would move sluggishly between floors, while a lightly loaded one
might oscillate excessively. In real life we need that type of response which will not differ in
different load condition.
Q.1 A position type control system (one with an integration effect in the forward path) will have
no steady state error to a steady position input.
Ans: In a proportional control system, the output follows the input. When an integrator is
included in the forward path, it continuously integrates the error signal and increases the control
effort until the error becomes zero.
Q.2 What is the effect of increasing Kc on the speed of transient response?
Ans: when we increase the Kc Gain is increase so the speed of the transient response increase
but it will take higher time to settle because it overestimate the final value.
Q.3 What is the advantage and disadvantage of applying high gain (Kc)?
Ans: Advantage is it increase the speed of the motor and Disadvantage is overshoot is higher
and settling time is higher.
C) Proportional Position Control with Velocity Feedback:

Kv Observation and comments

0 kc-1, With Load, Overshoot-0% ts-0.5,

Without Load Overshoot-20% ts-0.8s

1 kc-1.7, With Load, Overshoot-0% ts-0,

Without Load Overshoot-10% ts-0.6s

2 kc-2.7, With Load, Overshoot-0% ts-0,

Without Load Overshoot-8% ts-0.4s

Comment: When gain increased There is little change to the overall though the extra load
changes the gain and time constant of the plant. Increasing the gain makes the system work
faster and steady state error reduced.
Q.1 What is the effect of increasing Kv on the transient response?
Ans:Increasing Kv enhances damping, reducing oscillations and overshoot, making the system
more stable. However, excessive Kv can slow the response. As Kv increases, damping ratio ζ
rises, minimizing oscillations but potentially leading to an overdamped system with longer
settling time. Optimal Kv ensures a balance between stability and speed, preventing excessive
oscillations while maintaining a reasonable response time for efficient system performance.
Q.2 What is the advantage of velocity feedback on load change?
Ans:Velocity feedback prevent the change of the transient response that’s why when Load
changes the speed of the motor doesn’t change as much compare to without feedback.
Can you relate the “position control with velocity feedback” with any of the controller learned in
theory class? If yes, explain how.
Ans:Position control with velocity feedback is similar to a Proportional-Derivative (PD)
controller. The proportional gain (KcK_cKc) controls speed, while velocity feedback (KvK_vKv)
acts like the derivative term, improving damping and reducing oscillations. This feedback
minimizes overshoot and enhances stability, making the system behave like a PD-controlled
system by balancing speed and stability effectively.

Conclusion:
This experiment demonstrated the effects of gain and velocity feedback on the transient
response of a position control system. Increasing Kc improved response speed but introduced
oscillations, while increasing Kv enhanced damping, reducing overshoot and stabilizing the
system. The relationship between velocity feedback and a Proportional-Derivative (PD)
controller was observed, where Kv acted as a derivative term to control oscillations. Proper
tuning of Kc and Kv is essential for optimizing system performance, balancing speed and
stability. The experiment reinforced theoretical concepts of transient response and control
system design, providing valuable insights into real-world applications of feedback control.
