Abstract

Open-loop and closed-loop position control systems are obtained using dc
motor. The open-loop uses an estimation of controller parameters to perform the
position control where the closed loop position control systems uses a cascade
controller to maintain the desired position. Controllers are designed using
Matlab/Simulink simulation package. The objective is to design a position
controller which will be able to drive the motor at a specified constant velocity
which might gives the motor some constant torque. The results obtained from the
open-loop position control system parameters estimation shows better
performance specification in the control tasks, such as rise time and overshoot.
The cascade closed-loop position control system shows an improvement in
performance when use the values of estimated parameters .
