Model Reference Adaptive Control for DC Servo Motor Positioning System
Abstract
This paper suggests a Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) scheme for the positioning systems that uses a
DC servo motor. The suggested scheme of control forces the motor position to remain at the desired value under normal and
uncertain conditions. This is achieved by making the motor response to track the output of a reference model, which is
similar to the plant model, by using a controller that has adjustable control parameters. This kind of control gives an edge in
performance under all kinds of environment. The MRAC based control reduces the overshoot of the response and smooth
out other transient behavior and settles the motor fast. The proposed scheme is simulated using MATLAB-Simulink and is
compared with a PID based control scheme under normal and noisy condition to show the effectiveness of the suggested
scheme.
