DC Motor Modeling

This is lab 1 of 6 in the course
by Quanser Inc.
In this lab students will begin by learning the theory and background, including the necessary equations, behind First Principles Modeling and Experimental Modeling. Then they will implement their knowledge by building a DC motor model, running a VI, and obtaining a waveform graph. From here students can formulate their differential equation and analyze the data with the help of short answer questions. The ultimate goal of modeling for control design is to be able to create a simulation of a plant and various controllers in order to gain confidence that an approach will work before implementation on hardware.
