EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISON OF SATURATED VELOCITY CONTROLLERS FOR DC MOTORS

Javier Moreno-Valenzuela

   This paper concerns the velocity control of direct current (DC) motors by considering that voltage input is saturated. A new control scheme to solve that problem is proposed. By using real-time experiments conducted in an industrial DC motor, we discuss the performance of the PI control in cascade with a saturation function, the PI control equipped with anti-windup and the new controller.

Keywords: velocity control, DC motor, voltage saturation, PI control, anti-windup
