To determine
Describe about the controller and its function.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The controller is a device or group of devices which control the operation of an electric motor. The controller controls the delivery of a predetermined amount of electric power to apparatus connected to it. That is, the controller delivers the electric power to the apparatus based on the desired output.
The following are the functions of controller.
- The controller controls the starting action of the motor in a safe way.
- The controller controls the stopping action of the motor.
- The controller controls the reversing action of the motor.
- The controller controls the running action of the motor.
- The controller assists the motor to control its speed based on its requirement.
- The controller provides the safety for the operator.
- The controller protects the apparatus (the connected devices to the controller) from the damage or fault conditions.
Conclusion:
Thus, the controller is defined and its function is described.

You need to mark both options correctly. below is the model of the electrical part of a magnetic levitation system. dl R+Rs 1 dt Here I letter is given as current, V voltage R winding resistance Rms = 1 ohm R = 10 ohms, L= 412.5 mH. This system is wanted to be controlled using a proportional-integral (PI) controller. The error sign used in the Pl controller is identified with e (t) as above. e(t) = 1,(t)- 1(t) Here Ir (t) is the reference current.

- I have a wooden toy train that runs on wooden tracks. I would like to place two ESP-WROOM-32 Boards on top of the train. Broadcast communication (which involves radio frequency, not Wi-Fi) would help communicate about the train's lateness to five other wooden trains on the same track. Local communication would help communicate to the train station about the train's lateness. I would also need radio frequency Tx-Rx Modules for discharging and undergoing the signal, and repeaters just in case the signal loses power due to long-distance traveling. My wooden train should be automated. It should run at 4 inches per second, keep a minimum distance of 30 seconds away from the other wooden trains, and make a 17-second-long stop every 500 seconds. What's the procedure to connect the components? What's the Arduino code (C++) for this project?arrow_forwardsubject control system engineeringarrow_forwardi need the answer quicklyarrow_forward
