4.1.4 Development of Feed Forward Control model in Simulink To implement feed forward control. Firstly, the transfer function of the linear DC Motor model has to be obtained. Actually in our case, the input of the plant is current so the transfer function of the mathematical model in ratio of angular velocity to current has to be obtained. It is given by: G(s)=Ω_1/I_a =R_A/K_M 1/(T_e s+1) where T_e=(J_meq R_A)/(K_m Cϕ) is electro-mechanical time constant. The feed forward control could be…
Motor & Gearbox The mirrors are required to rotate specific angles. To be able to achieve specific angles we need a stepper motor. The stepper motor is known to divide one revolution into equal steps which is our main requirements for the rotation of the mirrors. Figure 2-13: The Stepper Motor The following table shows the stepper motor specifications: Table 2-1: Stepper Motor Specifications Current 4.2 A Angle 1.8° Torque 8.34 N.m The desired torque calculated to withstand the mirror…
BACKGROUND Pigs have been essential to human’s life even before wild animals were domesticated. Ancestors of pigs comes from Asia and Europe 25 million years ago, however its domestication pigs began 6000 to 8000 BC. Pigs were highly produced in Asia especially China which is the highest pig producer even currently. Pigs arrived in South Africa in in 1600’s with the European settlers. South Africa’s indigenous breeds are the Windsnyer (Ramsay, 2002). Breeds which are also found and commercially…
Trinity Kaseke Marketing 03/02/2016 Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) Serving as parent car for companies like Rolls Royce and producing mini cars, BMW a German manufacturer for luxury cars and engines founded in Munich in 1916 has since been recognized as one of the worlds best selling automakers. German manufacturers didn't stop at producing BMW, they have other companies like Mercedes and Audi, but an important factor to consider is that unlike the other two mentioned above BMW can operate on…
This piece of work aims to critically analyse the role of HRM within MICHELIN as the organisation sets to completely shut down its Ballymena tyre factory in 2017 with the first leg of redundancy starting in May 2016. The shutting down of this plant may automatically make 860 employed staff and about 500 contractors redundant. The announcement of the closure was made on the BBC News on the 18th of November, 2015 by the organisation stating that there is a need to reduce overcapacity by shutting…
Electro-mechanical Actuator Works? A Rotary Electromechanical Actuation system with an Electric Motor, a gear box & an elastic spring to absorb peak torque loads experienced during operational life. The Schematic below describes the system. Fig. 1.1 Rotary Electro-mechanical Actuator Gearbox Requirements: The Gear Box at the Motor Output is intended to amplify the torque output of the Motor with reduction in speed. The tentative ratio is set at 10:1. Functional Requirements of the…
The ancient Romans have many achievements. Some of these achievements have positively affected our society today. Three of these achievements have to do with roads, architecture, and technical advances. One of the three achievements are their roads. Without the roads, the Romans would get stuck in mud. Once they made the roads, they would not get stuck in the mud. We followed their example and created roads. Romans created roads so that they would have something to drive on. We…
