Motor Revolutions

Motor Revolutions Control System

  • This is the teamwork of the two-week course, Design and Practice of Circuit System, in Summer Semester 2018.
  • We successfully realized the control of the turn number of a DC motor with the provided analog and digital circuit elements.
  • The value of the set revolutions is input through the keyboard (within 5 to 99) and shown in two seven-segment displays, while the value of current revolutions is shown in another two seven-segment displays.
  • The motor will finally rotate to the revolutions whose value is equal to the input number.
  • The motor can either rotate forward or backward to reach the set value.

The detail of some essential parts is discussed below.

The Judgement of the Direction of Rotation

  • Two optoelectronic switches identify the current rotate direction of the motor.
    The placement of the optoelectronic switches
  • Limited by the components, we chose to observe whether the hole on the rotary table passes the other switch between the two nearest passing of a same switch. Suppose from now on, the hole passes switch A first, followed by it passing switch A again without passing switch B, then we can decide that the motor changes its rotate direction.
  • Based on that theory, the sequence chart of our circuit is shown below, where A turns into high level when the hole passes A, and B the same.
    The sequence chart

The Speed Control of the Motor

  • The motor is driven by PWM wave.
  • The duty cycle of the PWM wave is decided by the resistence in the circuit, which can be determined by the relative size (decided by CD4585) of the set value and the current value of the revolutions.
