Design of Internet of Things Based Controller for Direct Current Motors
This work addresses speed control in DC motors for IoT applications, but it is incremental as it applies existing IoT concepts to a specific mechanical benchmark.
The study designed an IoT-based controller for a low-speed DC motor to maintain constant speed under varying pressure, achieving a simulation that closely matches real system behavior.
It is known that internet have been widespread in many areas of life and enabled machines to communicate each other. The terms of Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a result of networks consist of machines and equipment that work independent of operator and communicate each other. Sensors, embedded systems, communication technologies and data storage systems like clouds create wide area networks that can communicate and share data. In this study, the application of the IoT on a low speed mechanical benchmark driven by a direct current motor has been designed. It is aimed to keep the motor speed fixed at desired value according to the changings occurs depending on varying the pressure acting on the actuators. In presented study, a speed control is performed by establishing a modeling and simulation mechanism that will give the closest results to the real system.
