SERVO TRAINER

The CE110 Servo Trainer shows d.c. servo position and
speed control systems using typical industrial techniques. It
has a d.c. servomotor, a d.c. generator and a flywheel
mounted on a common shaft.
Analogue 0 to ?10 V control signals vary the servomotor
shaft speed in either direction. An optical sensor measures
the speed and shows it on a panel-mounted digital meter.
The d.c. generator statically or dynamically loads the
servomotor.
An electric clutch connects or disconnects the shaft to a 30:1
reduction gearbox for position control studies. A manual
control allows the user to set a position control setpoint.
To adjust the shaft inertia, the CE110 comes with two
extra interchangeable inertia discs (flywheels).
For advanced experiments, the Servo Trainer includes extra
?block?-type circuits that can add non-linear and fully
adjustable effects of:
– Deadzone or ?deadband?
– Anti-deadzone
– Hysteresis
– Saturation
These blocks are important in studies of servo systems
because they mimic problems that happen in real
applications.
