ABSTRACT

This paper is aim to research the Proportional Integral Differential (PID) controller design and selection of
various Proportional, Integral and Differential control parameters. MATLAB is allows matrix manipulations,
plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms. An additional package, Simulink, adds
graphical multi-domain simulation and model-based design for dynamic and embedded systems. MATLAB is
used to implement the Proportional Integral Differential (PID) controller, it is used to control the speed of
DC motor and bring it at the desired speed. PID parameters Kp , Ki and Kd are finely tuned to optimal values.
And then a ARDUINO UNO microcontroller is programmed by adding the finely tuned PID algorithm to
control the speed of DC motor.
Keywords: PID, MATLAB, Arduino Uno, DC Motor

I. INTRODUCTION II. DC MOTOR

DC motor have been widely use in high-performance A direct current or DC motor, converts electrical
electrical drives. There are various differences DC energy into mechanical energy. It is one of two basic
motors in the market and all with it good and bad types of motors: the other type is the alternating
attributes. The bad motor is the lag of efficiency, and current or AC motor. Among DC motors, there are
therefore to solve this problem a Proportional– shunt-wound, series-wound, compound-wound and
Integral–Derivative (PID) controller is designed in permanent magnet motors.
this paper. PI controller is a generic control loop
feedback mechanism widely used in industrial control
systems. A PI controller attempts to correct the error
between a measured system variable and a desired set
point. It is calculate and then outputting a corrective
action that can adjust the system accordingly. So, by
integrating the PI controller to the DC motor were
able to correct the error made by the DC motor and

control the speed of the DC motor to the desired
speed.
In this thesis, it will assume the following values for
the physical parameters of DC motor.

III. PID CONTROLLER

A PID controller is an instrument used in industrial

control applications to regulate temperature, flow,
pressure, speed and other process variables. PID
(proportional integral derivative) controllers use a
control loop feedback mechanism to control process
variables and are the most accurate and stable
controller.

PID control is a well-established way of driving a

system towards a desired speed. PID control uses
closed-loop control feedback to keep the actual
output from a process as close to the target or set
point output as possible.

The proportional controller kp have the effect of

reducing the rise time; and will reduce and never
eliminate the steady state error. So, the response
becomes more and more faster by increasing the gain
kp. But will increase the maximum overshoot.

The response is much faster than before; the settling

time becomes for ki=200, and the steady-state error
becomes very small and eliminated for ki=200.

The following figure 8 was designed with Arduino
Uno, DC motor, L298 and variable resistor to control
the motor speed in Proteus software. In order to do
that, the physical parameters of DC motor are firstly
identified. Plug these parameters value the transfer

VIII. CONCLUSION

The proportional controller (kp) will have the effect of

reducing the rise time and will reduce; but never
eliminate the steady-state error, an integral control
(ki) will have the effect of eliminating the steady-state
error, but it may make the transient response worse .a
derivative control (kd) will have the effect of
increasing the stability of the system, reducing the
overshoot, and improving the transient response.
