Introduction:
In a closed loop position controller system, the positional information from an output
potentiometer (P01) which is mechanically coupled to a motor is fed back 1, a control amplifier.
Then, the reference position input from the input potentiometer (P) is combined with the
feedback signal at the input of the amplifier which drives the motor in proportion to the
difference between two signals.
The Al is an error signal generator A2 is an error signal amplifier and A3 is the driver for the
motor M. As p w turned away from P1 is turned away from Po the difference between two
potentiometer voltages become an error signal which appears at the input of Al. The error signal
is kith amplified through A2 and A3, and drives the motor in the direction to reduce error voltage
between P1 and Po therefore P1 is turned off Po follows the same direction. This feedback action
continues until the output of Al is reduced to zero. At this point, the voltage measured at P1, and
Po, are same but in opposite polarity. For example, if P1 is at +3V, then Po is at -3V,
Making the sum of two zero. 
The final relative position between P1 and Po depends upon the gain of the amplifiers. For a
large gain. the position of P. can be almost equal to the position of R. But when the gain is not
sufficient, there can be an offset in the relative position. This offset is the "deadband" for a
position controller.

Procedure 
1. Referring to Figure, arrange the Modules, including coupling of U-158 to U -161, and conned
them together.
2. Set U-152 switch to "a" and U-151 to 10" Turn the power of U-156 on. Set U-157 dial to 180
degrees.
3. Adjust U-153 to make the output of U-I54 zero. Once the adjustment is done, do not alter U-
I53 setting.
4. Set U-151 to "9" . Within ±20 degrees from the original 180 degree setting, turn U-157 either
clockwise or counterclockwise, and see if U-158 follows the movement. U-158 motion should
lag U-I57. In case U-158 leads U-I57, switch the wires of U-I61 motor. 
5. Turn U-157 clockwise from 0 degree position by 10 degree increment up to 150 degrees.
Measure the angle of U-158 at each position of U-157. Repeat the measurements with U-157
turned counterclockwise. Calculate the offset error angle between U-157 and U-158 at each
position. 
6. Increase the system gain by setting U-I51 to 7, 5, 3 and 1. At each U-151 setting, repeat Step 5
experiment. Observe the change in offset error angle as a function of the system gain. 
7. Plot the results of Steps 5 and 6. Plot the relationships between system gain and deadband.

Observation:
The final relative position between P1 and Po depends upon the gain of the amplifiers. For a
large gain. the position of P. can be almost equal to the position of R. But when the gain is not
sufficient, there can be an offset in the relative position. This offset is the "deadband" for a
position controller.
