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).
These blocks are important in studies of servo systems because they mimic problems that happen in real applications.
Learning OutcomesEssential Base Unit
The flexible design of the equipment allows the user to
develop many other analysis and control exercises to suit
their needs. It is good for extended or advanced control
experiments, and is ideal for student project work.
