PID-Based Design of DC Motor Speed Control

DC motor is an easy-to-apply motor but has inconsistent speed due to the existing load. PID (Proportional Integral Differential) is one of the standard controllers of DC motors. This study aimed to know the PID controller's performance in controlling the speed of a DC motor. The results showed that the PID controller could improve the error and transient response of the system response generated from DC motor speed control. Based on the obtained system response data from testing and tuning the PID parameters in controlling the speed of a DC motor, the PID controller parameters can affect the rate of a DC motor on the setpoint of 500, 1000, 1500: Kp = 0.05, Ki = 0.0198, Kd = 0.05.
