NI DC Motor Lab

NI DC Motor Lab

The NI DC Motor Lab covers a wide range of curriculum topics like System Modeling, Model
Validation, PID Controller Design and System Simulation. It also offers complete
documentation through user manuals and setup guides.

The plug-and-play feature of the NI DC Motor Lab makes it easy to setup and allows you to
switch experiments in a matter of minutes, resulting in optimal use of your facilities. This Lab
considerably increases the value of your investment in NI ELVIS II+ and NI LabVIEW graphical
programming software. Designed to connect easily to the NI ELVIS II+ Workstation in place
of the standard prototype board, the cost-effective, plug-and-play boards of the Lab
significantly extend the functionality of the NI Platform.

The NI DC Motor Lab is designed to illustrate the fundamentals of DC Motor Control using
the NI ELVIS II+ Workstation and NI LabVIEW. Students can quickly and easily configure the
Lab to control motor position and speed as well as for parameter estimation. A wide range of
control experiments that feature hardware-in-the-loop operation can also be conducted in the
laboratory environment using this Lab.
