Lenses

A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

Phase-Lead Compensation of a Rotational Rigid-Body System

Module by: Robert Bishop

Summary: The objective of this lab is to use frequency domain techniques to design a phase-lead compensator for a rigid, rotational disk. The controller will be designed and implemented in LabVIEW using the Simulation Module and Control Design Toolkit.

Phase-Lead Compensation of a Rotational Rigid-Body System

Objectives

  1. Use frequency domain techniques to design a phase-lead compensator for a rigid, rotational disk.

Pre-Lab

  1. Derive the equations of motion for the 1DOF rotational system that you will control in this lab. The plant configuration is shown below. The disk will be loaded with four 0.5 k g 0.5 k g brass weights placed at a distance 9.0 c m 9.0 c m from the center of rotation.

  1. Design and simulate a phase-lead compensator that satisfies the following performance specifications:
    1. Zero steady-state error to a step input.
    2. Gain margin 15 d b 15 d b
    3. Phase Margin 4 5 o 4 5 o

Lab Procedure

  1. Configure the plant for this experiment.
  2. Code your phase-lead compensator into the control loop VI.
  3. Perform a 3000 count step input, and save the plot.
  4. Perform a ramp input with a velocity of 1000 counts/second and a dwell time of 3 seconds. Save the plot.

Post-Lab

  1. What was the system's steady-state error to the ramp input? What would you expect it to be for a parabolic input?
  2. Explain how gain margin and phase margin relate to a system's stability.
