INTRODUCTION PROJECT DESCRIPTION CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
•
Open-Loop DC motor speed control system Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) isemployed to control the speed of the motor A virtual instrument (vi) is developed with LabVIEW The vi generates a triangular wave that produces the desired PWM signal. PWM is an analog that switchesbetween two predefined limits.

INTRODUCTION
•
User inputs the amplitude and frequency of the triangular wave, sampling rate of the reference signal, and the desired amplitude ofthe PWM. As the reference voltage increases, the width of the PWM(duty cycle) increases which in turn increases the speed of the motor. The varying nature of the motor speed is demonstrated in thelaboratory by changing the reference signal. The principle developed in this project will be utilized in future endeavor toward controlling the robot motion remotely via Internet
