DISCUSSION
1. Discuss the differences in open-loop and closed loop control in achieving a speed
control system and the effects of the loop gain and load on the output speed.
Graph 3a is the result from open-loop speed control system, it shows:
1) The desired motor speed output is solely controlled by potentiometer input.
2) The desired motor speed can be achieved if there is not load or disturbance, but
the speed output will drop significantly if there is a disturbance (in this case,
the magnetic brake), and the amount of speed reduction is proportional to the
magnitude of disturbance (Magnetic brake angle).
3) Different Gain setting of Op. Amp is totally ineffective against disturbance.
The characteristic of open-loop controller is that it does not use feedback to determine
if its output has achieved the desired goal of the input. This means that the system
does not observe the output of the processes that it is controlling; hence an open-loop
system cannot compensate any disturbances.

From above block diagram of open-loop control system we can see that the loop gain
has not effect to the Op. Amp as the speed feedback from Tachometer is physically
disconnected, hence the system will not compensate any disturbance.
Graph 3b is the result from closed-loop speed control system, it shows:
1) The motor speed output is still proportional to disturbance, but amount of
speed drop is not so severe compare with open-loop system.
2) Difference Gain setting of Op. Amp affects the final speed output, higher the
gain setting, lesser the system is affected by disturbance.
In a closed-loop control system, a sensor monitors the system output (the motor speed)
and feeds the data to a controller which adjusts the controller as necessary to maintain
the desired system output. Brake

Gain
From above block diagram of closed–loop control system, it shows higher loop gain
helps system endure higher disturbance. During the experiment, if it is possible to
increase the loop gain, let say to 0.8, the motor output will be maintained at 1000 rpm
even at maximum magnetic brake angle setting.

2. Discuss the effect of loop gain and brake scale settings on the transient response of
the closed-loop speed control system.
When plot the loop gain vs. transient response, the graph looks like this:

All these can be explained by the block diagram and the transfer function of the
closed-loop speed control system model.

The speed feedback control system is a first order system which transfer function is:

Smaller the time constant τ, faster the system will response. As we know:

Alternately, when the disturbance TL is higher, the error feedbacks to Op.Amp will be
higher, which results in higher output to compensate the error and bring system back
to original state, hence the response time will be shorter.
3. Discuss the effect of loop gain and velocity feedback on the transient response of the
closed-loop speed control system.
When plot the loop gain vs. transient response, the graph looks like this:

From above equation, if without speed feedback, the system nature frequency will the
higher, and the damping ratio will be smaller, hence faster settling time is observed.
With higher loop gain setting, same phenomena will be observed.
