In this lab students start by studying the theory of quantitative PD control design along with necessary equations. Then students will implement a controller on a DC motor and obtain and analyze response data. Finally, students will asses the steady-state error and answer several short answer questions and calculations.
After completing this lab, students will be able to:
Design PD control parameters to meet position control specifications.
Analyze the response of a position controller.
Assess the steady-state error of a position controller.
