Transfer Function Of An Armature Controlled Dc Motor

Transfer function of an armature controlled DC motor:

The armature-controlled DC motor uses the armature current ia as the control variable. The stator field can be established by a field coil and current or a permanent magnet. When a constant field current is established in a field coil, the motor torque is

When a permanent magnet is used, we have

where Km is a function of the permeability of the magnetic material.

The armature current is related to the input voltage applied to the armature by

where Vb(s) is the back electromotive-force voltage proportional to the motor speed. Therefore, we have

where ω(S) = sθ(s) is the transform of the angular speed and the armature current is

The load torque equation, we get,

The relations for the armature-controlled DC motor are shown schematically in Figure 1. From the block diagram and let Td(s) = 0, we can solve to obtain the transfer function as
