Experimental Work
Build a SIMULINK® model of the speed control system given in Figure 2-4 with
k_a = 12 mV/(rad/sec), \(T_m = 2.5\) sec, \(a_m = 10\) (rad/sec)/V.
In the amplifier gain block, enter -something like- "k_a". Use a step reference speed of 100 rad/sec
and a step disturbance input of 10 rad/sec, which is applied 5 seconds later than the reference step.
Add scopes to properly visualize the simulation results. Also use "To Workspace" blocks to send the
time (generated by "Clock") and the shaft speed signals to the workspace.
Write a MATLAB® m-file that defines "k_a" and then simulates the speed control system model that
you have built above.
Simulate the model and collect the time and shaft speed for three different choices of "k_a":
k_a = 10, k_a = 20, k_a = 50
Collect and plot the shaft speed signal versus time for these three different cases all in the same
figure. Use appropriate plot types, colors, labels and legends to identify the curves clearly. Adjust
the time range, if necessary, to display the variations of the speed in a visible form.
