| Summary: | The ball and beam control system consists of a small metal ball, a beam, a motor, and
an analogue or digital process controller. Two sensors are also required. One is for detecting
the position of the ball on the beam and the other is for detecting the angular position of the
servo. Both of these sensors are connected to the process controller. The beam is a half meter
length with two parallel tensioned wires mounted on it. The two wires are pmi of the sensor
for detecting the position of the ball on the beam and the ball rolls up and down on them. One
ended of the beam is connected to a servo motor while the other ended is fixed.
The controller used in this project is PIC 16F877A .The controller compares the
desired position of the ball on the beam with its actual position. It then acts through the motor
to change the angle of the beam. This causes the ball to roll towards its desired position. As it
nears to the desired position, the angle of the beam is reduced so as to bring the ball to a stop
at its desired position with a little overshoot as possible.
This report shows the approach used to obtain a valid solution to this problem, as well
as the design and development of the controllers were implemented for the system. The Ball
and Beam project is intended to be used as a demonstrational device on control systems to
attract potential students forward electrical engineering field and control systems design. |
