Electrical Engineering Technician AMAT/ SETAS Course: EET-126 ,2023.______________________ Lab 3: Operator Control and Process Calibration Overview In this lab, we will start by building the open loop system we developed in Lab 2 – part 1 and add it to a control panel using push buttons. We will then calibrate the push button assuming that our manufacturing process has changed. Components Required (1) x Elegoo Uno R3 (1) x L239D Driver chip (1) x DC Motor (1) x Elegoo power supply (10) x M-M wires (male to male jumper wires) (3) x M-F wires (male to female jumper wires)
Procedure – Part 1 In this lab, we will setup our motor control as was done in Lab 2 – part 1. Remember, the schematic of the circuit looked as shown: Fig 1: Schematic of Open loop system motor control The actual built circuit is shown below: Fig 2: Actual built setup Review the instructions on lab 2 and the video posted if you need help setting this circuit again .
Our goal in this lab is to change the input control of the system to push buttons. Remember, the operator of a system should be able to control the desired process variable from a controller panel generally using buttons or levers. So far, our control change mechanism involved changing the code in the Arduino IDE which is not the most intuitive way of doing things. Moreover, every time we change a setting in the code (example motor speed or direction of the motor spin), we have to re-upload the code to the Arduino Uno, which means the motor first has to stop and then start again. This is not ideal and may not be feasible for application we are running. Therefore, we will modify our system to have a push button control. We will add two push buttons, one push button will increase the motor speed in one direction and another will decrease the motor speed. If the motor speed goes to zero and the push button that reduces the speed is pushed again, the motor will start but in the opposite direction. A good way to visualize the operation is through the following diagram: Fig. 3: Controller output of the open loop system
