The regulation by sliding mode control (SMC) is recognized for its qualities
of robustness and dynamic response. This article will briefly talk about the
regulation principles by sliding mode as well as the application of this
approach to the adjustment of a speed control DC motor bench using the TY36A/EV
unit. This unit, from Electronica Veneta products, uses a PID controller to
control the speed and position of the DC motor. Our purpose is to improve the
set time answer and the robustness of the system when disturbances take place.
The experimental results show very good performances of the proposed approach
relatively to the PID.Comment: 10 pages; 13 figures, international journa
