1. Laboratory Objectives
The objective of this experiment is to design a closed-loop control system that regulates the speed of the DC motor. The mathematical model of a DC motor is reviewed and its physical parameters are identified. Once the model is verified, it is used to design a proportionalintegral, or PI, controller. Regarding the Gray Boxes: The gray boxes present in the instructor manual are not intended for the students as they provide solutions
