DC Motor Speed Control Development System (DCMSCDS)

This project is about building a low cost education aid for teaching electrical drive laboratory experiments as well as useful output load for power electronics subjects. DC Motor Speed Control Development System is used for DC motor driver and control system. This block of system only consists of the de machine and speed indicator. The controller or drive is not included, to allow the user to design and construct the drive based on the specifications defined. This is the idea of this research, to enhancing creativity of the students in laboratory activities instead of constructing a circuit by referring the lab manual or just connecting the circuit by using jumper if involving the training module. This kind of laboratory training, student would only know how use jumper without knowing the function of every components in the circuit. They will not appreciate the important reading data sheet before running the lab work. Therefore, this project will give an encouraging scenario in teaching and learning techniques and in solving problems to be more innovative and creative in learning electric drive. The student will be able to appreciate more in designing and constructing. Moreover, this education aid also can be used by PSM student is speed control research area of DC motor because of its flexibility of input and output. Not forget to mention low cost teaching aid for electric drive experiments
