Real-Time System with Integrated PID Algorithm used for DC Motor Control

The present paper aims to approach some high complexity testing methods and models, precisely because of the need to optimize the control systems. Methods and models are developed to deliver performance that tends to ideality, or to the ideality of design specifications for such control systems required by today's industry. The highlighting of the results and the validity of the performances obtained using the above described techniques could be achieved by designing a real-time control system for controlling a DC motor subjected to controlled loads. Due to the control applications coming in an increasing number in the last part of time, the control with as high a precision of such a DC motor is imperative. The consequence of using a PID algorithm controller in a closed-loop feedback system determines both the system's response to the position and speed of the DC motor and their calculation accurately. All this system was developed using Real-Time Hardware-in-the-Loop Systems and mathematically characterized models in Simulink, Matlab (design and simulation tools) along with LabVIEW and LabVIEW's NI RIO Platform.
