Ward Leonard Control - Mathematical Approach

Mathematical Approach

Among many ways of defining the characteristic of a system, obtaining a transfer characteristic is one of the most commonly used methods. Below are the steps to obtain the transfer function, eq 4.

Before going into the equations, first conventions should be set up, which will follow the convention data used. The first subscripts 'g' and 'm' each represents generator and motor. The superscripts 'f', 'r',and 'a', correspond to field, rotor, and armature.

= plant state vector = gain = time constant = polar moment of inertia = angular viscous friction = rotational inductance constant = Laplace operator

eq 1: The generator field equation

eq 2: The equation of electrical equilibrium in the armature circuit

eq 3: Motor torque equation

With total impedance, neglected, the transfer function can be obtained by solving eq 3 .

eq 4: Transfer function

with the constants defined as below:

    What he loved so much in the plant morphological structure of the tree was that given a fixed mathematical basis, the final evolution was so incalculable.

    I approach these questions unwillingly, as it wounds, but no cure can be effected without touching upon and handling them.
