Adaptive control for position DC drive on the basis of self-tuning P-controller

Adaptive control for a servo DC drive is considered. For the drive with variable parameters a new adaptive control algorithm that provides transient response without overshoot and with minimum process time, is proposed. The basis of the control is a cascade structure with a self-tuning P-controller in the position loop. The algorithm is examined for a position reference signal of the step input type and for big transference of the motor. The experimental results which show validity of the proposed method are presented.
