The tools for verifying the control algorithms for speed and positional servo drives

The issues of electric drives are taught on several subjects within bachelor and engineering studies at the Institute of Automotive Mechatronics (IAMT) FEI STU. For the purpose of teaching and verifying properties of new servo drives control algorithms for speed and position loops, the control structures on interactive simulation models and on the functional drive sample have been implemented. Four types of speed controllers and seven types of position controllers are implemented for speed and positional servo drives. The paper provides an overview of implemented control structures, the principle of evaluation of the quality of the control, a description of the basic features of the implemented tools and an example of the experimental results.
