Experimental Validation of Fuzzy-Tuned AWPI Controller-Based Chopper Driven PMDC Motor

CODEN: JTEVAB

Abstract

Chopper driven Permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors are used to drill bone and fix the screws in orthopaedic surgeries. The drive of the motor employs a traditional or modern controller that has an inner current control loop and an outer speed control loop. As an alternative to traditional proportional integral (PI) controller-based chopper drives, this paper proposes a fuzzy-tuned anti-windup PI (AWPI) controller-based chopper for the speed control of PMDC motors used in orthopaedic surgeries. The proposed scheme was simulated using Matlab/Simulink and physically realized for validation. It is ascertained from the performance analysis that the proposed fuzzy-tuned AWPI based scheme exhibits better steady-state and transient-state responses when compared with traditional PI and AWPI controllers.
