Project 1 - Controlling a DC motor using PWM and monitoring its Running status

Project 1 - Controlling a DC motor using PWM and monitoring its Running status.

PROJECT

AIM:

Implement a system on the simulator for controlling a DC motor using L293 motor driver, monitor its status and print the running status of motor on the LCD Display.

Goals:

  • Implement a system on simulator for Controlling the DC motor using L293 motor driver.
  • Displaying the running status of DC motor on the LCD display.

Key Highlights of the Project:

  • The DC motor can be controlled by using L293 motor driver.
  • The speed of a DC motor can be controlled by varying its input voltage, for doing this is to use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).
  • L293D IC is a typical Motor Driver IC which allows the DC motor to drive on any direction.

Deliverables of this project:

  • Implement the system for controlling DC motor.
  • Controlling the speed of the DC motor using PMW.
  • Displaying the present running status of DC machine on LCD display.

DC Motor:

  • A DC motor is defined as a class of electrical motors that convert direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy.
  • When kept in a magnetic field, a current-carrying conductor gains torque and develops a tendency to move.
  • Thus when electric fields and magnetic fields interact, a mechanical force arises.
  • This is the principle on which the DC motors work.

L293 Motor Driver:

  • L293d IC is known as a motor driver. 
  • It is a low voltage operating device like other ICs. 
  • The other ICs could have the same functions like L293d but they cannot provide the high voltage to the motor. 
  • L293d provides the continuous bidirectional Direct Current to the Motor. 
  • The Polarity of current can change at any time without affecting the whole IC or any other device in the circuit. 
  • L293d has an internal H-Bridge installed for two motors.
