1.1. Servo What and how
To start solving the problem of wireless control system for servomotor we must be
aware of what the servomechanism really is.
Servomechanism
1
it is an automatic control system in which the output is
constantly or intermittently compared with the input through feedback so that the error or
difference between the two quantities can be used to bring about the desired amount of
control.
The key to understand this is a term -. For example,
an automotive power window control is not a servomechanism, as there is no automatic
control uses closed loop feedback, which classifies it as a servomechanism.
Servomechanisms with or without motors are used in our everyday life. But we will focus
on particular type that uses DC motor - servomotor.
Servo is a device with a shaft on the outside. The idea is that the shaft can be
positioned in a certain angular position by sending appropriate signal to the servo. When
unchanged. Any changes in
signal line causes immediate changes in shaft position.
The construction of servo
is based on normal DC motor with
extra gear and control system. The
control system can accurately
determine the position of motor as
shaft rotates the rotary knob which
allows us to position the shaft
with great accuracy. The control
system sets the shaft, depending
on the length of the control pulse
on the line sampled every 20ms.
In most cases, servomotors are
