EGR 450 - Manufacturing
Controls
Spring/Summer 1997
- 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 -Project This is a team project that took an RC Car and stripped
off all existing controls and replaced the controls with an MC 68HC11 microcontroller.
The project is based on a Line Tracker Robot, where a robot follows a black
line drawn on white paper. The Line Tracker operates on the following principles
a photo interrupter projects and receives an infrared signal . Black absorbs
infrared light rays and white reflects them. The signal from the photo
interrupter is sent to a control systems, which controls the movements
of the vehicle (see Edmund Scientific Optics and Optical Instruments Catalog
for more information on this type of vehicle.)
