ABSTRACT: This paper describes a closed loop model of a current controlled PMDC motor drive with PID Controller. The output speed of the PMDC motor is compared with a preset reference speed. The differences between these two signals are fed as an error signal to the PID controller of the system. The output of the speed controller is the actuating signal that controls the duty cycle of converter and hence controls the converter output. Through this controlled converter output, required voltage gets injected into the motor to bring it back to its desired speed. As a small change in the input voltage can cause a large change in the motor current and lead to a particular drive control feature. I. RELATED WORK PM motor drives have been a topic of interest for the last twenty years. Different authors have carried out modeling and simulation of such drives. The three most common speed control methods of a dc motor are field resistance control, armature voltage control, and armature resistance control II. INTRODUCTION Developments of high performance motor drives are very essential for industrial applications. A high performance motor drive system must have good dynamic speed command tracking and load regulating response. DC motors provide excellent control of speed for acceleration and deceleration and chopper fed permanent magnet PMDC motor allows precise voltage control, which is necessary for speed and torque control applications. DC drives, because of their simplicity, ease of application, reliability and favourable cost have long been a backbone of industrial applications. DC drives are less complex as compared to AC drives system. DC drives are normally less expensive for low horsepower ratings. DC motors have a long tradition of being used as adjustable speed machines and a wide range of options have evolved for this purpose. Cooling blowers and inlet air flanges provide cooling air for a wide speed range at constant torque. PMDC motors are conveniently portable and well fit to special applications, like industrial equipments and machineries that are not easily run from remote power sources. PMDC motor is considered a SISO (Single Input and Single Output) system having torque/speed characteristics compatible with most mechanical loads. This makes a PMDC motor controllable over a wide range of speeds by proper adjustment of the terminal voltage using various innovative design and control technique
