Abstract

The article considers the features of building a motor speed control system using the SIMULINK environment. The model served as a demonstration of the effectiveness of the system design method based on a specialized environment. The model implements three types of automatic control systems: closed and open automatic control systems, as well as a closed software automatic control system in which the set point changes according to a sinusoidal law. A user interface has been developed to change the parameters of the automatic control system elements and control the start of a DC motor using GUIDE tools. The results of experimental studies of the system with different forms and values of the set point, as well as when disturbing factors act on the controlled object are presented.
