EGR 450 - Manufacturing Controls

• lab #4a A/D Conversion and digital I/O Pre-lab Labview interface reads digital input and reads data values using an A/D card.

• lab #4b A/D Conversion and digital I/O Labview interface developed to read potentiometer and save the data in a text file on disk.
• Data collected from lab4b This is a text file saved during the execution of lab4b above.

• lab #4c A/D Conversion and digital I/O Labview interface developed to read a signal generator through the DAC card and drive a motor. Push buttons on screen control the number of times the motor rotates.

• lab #5a PID Control Pre-lab Labview interface developed to position a DC motor using a feedback controller that reads position from a potentiometer and is used to position a motorPID controller.

• lab #5b PID Control Labview interface developed to position a DC motor using a PID loop. Data was collected to see the effects that Kp, Ki, and Kd have on how the motor drives the potentiometer to the Set Value.
• Charts that were made of the data.
• The control chart is a chart of the values that were used as controls Kp=-1, Ki=-.03, Kd=-.01, and the Set Value was 3000.
• The Kp chart shows the affect Kp has on the motor response to the set value (Kp=-1.5, Set Value = 3000).
• The Ki chart shows the affect of Ki has on the motor response to the set value (Ki =-.1, Set Value = 2000).
• The Kd chart shows the effect of Kd has on the motor response to the set value (Kd=-.1, Set Value = 3000).

• RC Car (microcontrolled)
