Permanent Magnet DC
Motor
Ra = Armature Resistance (ohms)
La = Armature Inductance
(Henry)
e(t) = Voltage source (Volts)
eb(t) = Back EMF (Volts)
ia(t) = Armature Current
(Ampere)
ω(t) = Rotor Angular Velocity
(radian per sec)
J = Rotor Inertia (kg-m2) Figure 1. Permanent Magnet DC Motor Schematic Diagram
D = Damping Coefficient (Nm-s/radian)
Kb = Velocity Constant (V-s/radian)
Km = Motor/Torque Constant (Nm/A)
Kt = Tacho Constant (V-s/radian)
K = Gain of the Controller
Mathematical Model for the DC Motor
Electrical Characteristics:
Applying KVL at Figure 1:
e(t) - ia(t) Ra - La dia(t)/dt - eb(t) = 0 (Eqn. 1)
Back EMF is proportional to the angular velocity so it can be written as,
eb(t) = Kb ω(t) (Eqn. 2)
Substituting Eqn. 2 to Eqn. 1,
e(t) - ia(t) Ra - La dia(t)/dt - Kb ω(t) = 0 (Eqn. 3)
Mechanical Characteristics:
Using Figure 2,
𝜏m – 𝜏d – 𝜏j – 𝜏l = 0
Where,
𝜏m = Motor Torque = Km ia(t)
𝜏d = Damping Torque = D ω(t)
𝜏j = Inertial Torque = J d ω(t)/dt Figure 2. FBD
𝜏l = Load Torque
Assuming that the load torque is constant, then the load torque will not appear in the transfer
function that will be derived (s-Domain).
Km ia(t) - D ω(t) - J d ω(t)/dt = 0 (Eqn. 4)
1. Derived the transfer function of the motor Gm(s) using Eqn. 3 and Eqn. 4. Where the
angular velocity is the output and the e(t) as the input.
2. Use the Block Diagram in Figure 3 and Figure 4 without controller to determine the Closed-
Loop Transfer Function of the whole system.
3. Using the data given for all the different constant, determine a) case does the system falls b)
steady state error c) stability d) all performance criteria e) pole-zero map f) Plot the unit step
response and impulse response.
4. Repeat number 2 and number 3 but this time with controller.
5. Plot the root locus and determine the possible values for K.
