Robot Model

The user see how models are generated for a simple motor, and that motor in a control system.

The dynamic nature of the models is depicted and the associated differential equation derived.

At the bottom a plot is shown how the output changes smoothly from 0 to its final value. For the motor on its own, the input is V which is set so the output reaches 1. In the control system the input I is set to 1, and you see how close the output gets to 1.

You should see that a higher controller gain means the output gets closer to 1 and does so more quickly!"

Click on the relevant blocks in the diagram to change their parameters and see the effect.

If you select 'Show How Blocks Formed', the block diagram is developed in stages : click Next/Done button when it appears.
