Abstract:
A motor speed control system detects a rotation speed of a motor, compares a detected output signal with a reference voltage or a reference frequency to produce an error signal, produces a saw-tooth wave signal of an appropriate repetition frequency, compares the error signal with the saw-tooth wave signal to produce a switching signal, and drives a motor by the switching signal to control the speed of the motor. The system includes a first driver circuit for driving the motor by the output signal of a first comparator circuit which produces the error signal, and a second driver circuit for driving the motor by the output signal of a second comparator circuit which produces the switching signal. The motor is normally driven by the second driver circuit for speed control and is driven by the first driver circuit when the motor is started or overloaded or when the second driver circuit is defective.
Abstract:
Rotation of a rotary machine, e.g. a dc motor is controlled with higher accuracy by the system comprising a rotation speed detector for generating a signal having a repetition frequency dependent on the rotation speed of the rotary machine, a phase comparator having two input terminals one of which is applied with the output signal of the rotation speed detector, a voltage controlled oscillator applied with the output signal of the phase comparator, a frequency divider applied with the output of the voltage controlled oscillator and supplying the output to the other input terminal of said phase comparator, and a rotation speed controlling circuit having an input terminal applied with the output of the voltage controlled oscillator, i.e. a detection signal with a multiplied frequency.
Abstract:
An automatic speed control circuit for an electric motor is provided with a d.c. amplifier circuit having an output transistor of npn type. The motor is driven by a control signal supplied from the collector of the output transistor to control the motor speed. The collector of the output transistor is connected to one terminal of the electric motor, while another terminal of the motor and the emitter of the output transistor are respectively coupled to the positive and the negative terminals of a d.c. power source. The control signal supplied from the output transistor to the motor is changed in compliance with any variation of the power source. Therefore, the motor speed is independent of any variation of the power source.
Abstract:
A circuit for producing an error voltage for a negative feedback loop for automatic control of a motor speed comprises a monostable multivibrator triggered by a feedback signal of a frequency representative of the motor speed for generating a rectangular signal of a predetermined pulse width, a pulse height proportional to a source voltage for the multivibrator, and a duty cycle decided by the frequency. A potentiometer-integrator derives a variable voltage proportional to an average of the rectangular signal voltage. A potential divider for the source voltage derives a reference voltage indicative of a desired motor speed. A comparator derives a difference between the variable and reference voltages as the error voltage.
