POSTION CONTROL OF DC MOTOR

The objective is to make a bi-directional DC motor control driver. The DC motor is widely
popular in the industry control area because of its many good characteristics, for example: high
start torque characteristics, high performance and easy to be linear-controlled. DC motor has a
good speed control respondence and is used in speed control systems which needs high control
requirements, such as rolling mill, double-hulled tanker, high precision digital tools, etc.
DC motor angular position systems are usually controlled by proportional- derivative (PD)
control algorithms with PD coefficients tuned for optimizing operation. The objective of a PD
controller in a position control system is to maintain a position set point at a given value and be
able to accept new set-point values dynamically. Modern position control environments require
controllers that are able to cope with parameter variations and system uncertainties.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
WORKING

This DC motor driver circuit controls the direction and speed of DC motors. It consists of a


comparator and a power DC motor driver. The comparator control signals sent to the power
transistor driver. When the control voltage at pin 3 is higher than the voltage at pin 2 then
the voltage comparator IC 741 will provide the output voltage with a positive level. If voltage at
pin 3 is lower than the voltage comparator IC pin 2 then 741 will output a negative level, so
that the transistor Q2 gets forward biased and transistor Q1 gets reverse biased. When transistor
Q1 is forward biased and Q2 is reverse biased then the DC motor have a positive current source
through Q1 which will drive the DC motor in a clockwise direction. If Q2 gets forward biased
and Q1 becomes reverse biased the DC motor will have a negative voltage source which will
drive the DC motor to move counter-clockwise.

CONCLUSION:
By making this circuit the speed and direction of DC motors can easily be controlled.
