antenna azimuth for revision

Code : MEC522

Course : CONTROL ENGINEERING

GROUP ASSIGNMENT-PROBLEM BASED LEARNING ASSIGNMENT

Problem Statement:

An Armature controlled dc motor is used to control the position of an antenna azimuth in which is shown in Figure 1. While the schematic diagram for this system is shown in Figure 2 and its corresponding parameters are highlighted in the Table 1.

Equation of motion which represents the system dynamics is derived by neglecting the dynamics of potentiometers. Thus, the relationship between the output voltage and the input angular displacement is given by;

[pic] (1.1)

The relationship between motor and load is given by;

[pic] (1.2)

In which the equivalent inertia, [pic] is derived from

[pic] (1.3)

Similarly the equivalent viscous damping, [pic] is

[pic] (1.4)

These quantities are substituted into the motor equation (i.e. eq. 1.2), yielding the transfer function of the motor from the armature voltage to the armature displacement. The gear ratio to arrive at the transfer function relating load displacement to armature voltage is;

[pic] (1.5)

From parameter values in Table 1, (i.e. choose your parameter configuration) design a controller consisting of P-I-D actions to improve the performance of the antenna system. The requirement is open which means that you should try to achieve as good as possible performance for transient, stability as well as signal tracking under unit step signal input.

To justify the reasonability of your results, simulate the system using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

    Kinematics flourished in the 19th century as machine inventors learned to transmit information and forces (power) from one element in the machine to another. Steam- and water-based machines revolutionized the l9th century, but both of those energy sources generate circular motions, creating the need to convert these steady circular motions into nonsteady linear and curvilinear motion for machine applications. Practical inventors as well as mathematicians [Artobolevskii 1964] took up the challenge to create input-output kinematic devices that could convert circular motion into noncircular, complex, three-dimensional, intermittent motions. Thousands of mechanisms were invented, designed, and built, nurturing the widespread use and manufacture of machines. Reuleaux set out to codify, analyze, and synthesize kinematic mechanisms so that engineers could approach machine design in a rational way. He laid the foundation for a…

    The experiment was done with the purpose to analyze systems in equilibrium using the second condition of equilibrium and to distinguish some of its use and significance. In the experiment we analyzed systems and how it is applied. After performing the experiment, I can therefore conclude that the torque is affected by the forces acting on the system and their radial distance from the axis of rotation, the shorter the lever arm the greater the force, the longer the lever arm the lesser the force.…

    it can be seen that as the force varies, provided moment of inertia is constant, the value for the angular acceleration should vary linearly and in this case as the force is constant the angular acceleration therefore also remains constant. The purpose of the control loop is to feed in the required velocity in the ’Velocity demand’ vector and to subtract the actual velocity, found by the body sensor, to give an acceleration until the required velocity is achieved. By increasing the gain there is an overall decrease in the velocity and with an extreme increase in gain there is a decreases to values below the initially x-velocity. This analysis also corresponds to an extreme decrease in gain whereby the velocity therefore increases dramatically to very high values of velocity. By imposing a 3 vector velocity demand the graph becomes more stretched out which implies that the velocity increases slower and over a longer period of time.…

    Dynamic systems like dc-servomotors, financial systems, logistic models, internet systems and eco-systems can be described by a set of coupled differential equations. Based on this model, one can study the behavior of such a system under various external factors such as initial conditions, variables’ interrelation changes, stead state responses and stability issues. In this experiment, a simple Loika-Volterra type model was chosen to demonstrate these behaviors. The concept of state trajectory, limit cycles and stability will be introduced.…
