1- Introduction
This project is about developing a speed controller for DC motors. The DC motors
are widely used in the industries so there is always a need to control the speed of
DC motor for the better performance and economical purpose.

Technical Details
The methodology is divided into two parts which is software development and
hardware implementation The last part is to interface the controller with the
hardware.
The controller sends command signal to the DAQ device.
The DAQ device generate analog voltage which is given to motor driver circuit
which consist of an auto-transformer and a tap changing circuit.
The tap changing circuit selects proper tap of auto-transformer according to the
voltage coming from DAQ device.

2- Labview
LabVIEW

is a graphical programming language designed to develop test, control, and

measurement applications.

LabVIEW programs are called virtual instruments, or Vis.

A VI contains the following three component.
1-Front panel Serves as the user interface.
2-Block diagram contains the graphical source code that defines the functionality of the
VI.
3-Icon and connector pane identifies the interface to the VI so that you can use the

VI in another VI. A VI within another VI is called a subVI. A subVI corresponds to a

in text-based programming languages

subroutine

* Data acquisition

is the process of sampling signals that measure real world

physical conditions and converting the resulting samples into digital numeric
values that can be manipulated by a computer.

4- Driver circuit

Working of motor driver.

There are 6 comparators used in block 1 and different different voltage level is given to negative
terminal of each comparator.

varying voltage is given from DAQ to positive terminals off all comparators commonly.

When voltage level at positive terminal of a particular comparator is more than voltage level at its
negative terminal then it gives output voltage.

This

voltage is given to base terminal of a NPN transistor.

This transistor

works as a switch. When switch is ON, the circuit of relay is closed and

current starts flowing in relay and relay is energized.

At a time two relays are energized. One is used for connecting a tap and another is used for
disconnecting a tap which is already connected. So at a time one tap is connected and rest of all are
disconnected.

Block 2 circuit is used to obtain 12V DC from 230V AC. The 230V AC is step down to 15 V AC. Then
15V AC is converted into DC with help of a bridge rectifier.

The 25V capacitors are used to bypass the AC components.

The 12V zener diodes are used

to keep the voltage constant at 12V.

6- conclusion
This project can withstand in competitive environment due to following
reasons1- Reliable- due to lesser complexity in project
2- Accuracy.
The dc motors are widely used in industry. Labview is a new platform for
designing the control system for Dc motors. This project can be widely
used in industries as a control system of dc motors.
