dc motor velocity

I have a DC motor with a shaft encoder, this shaft encoder has three wires. It works as follow (as the one i bought the motor from him) the first wire is ground , the other two wires sends pulses one for the speed and the other for the direction.

I want to use PIC18F to control the velocity of this motor (closed loop control with a sw PID) can any one give me steps for doing so ?

Thanks is advance.
 

1. Use PWM to control the voltage feed to DC motor, and the DC motor speed is controlled.
2. Monitor the shaft encoder output as an error signal for PID routine.

Thanks buhdy, but this is what i know, i want to know some more sophisticated info as how to monitor the shaft encoder pulses, schematics, codes and so on.
any how thanks for your reply.
 

hi

for PID routine u need the current rpm of motor and set rpm

by using the above circuit u can monitor the input rpm by using ADC and out set point change by DAC

for any qurey feel free to request help
 

Thanks ashad but according to this sechmatic, the dc motor is connected to the output of LM324 which can not supply enough current to the Motor especially at when the motor is stalled (In my case stall current is about 10 Amps)

the DC motor is connected to the power transistor and the poer transistor is drive form the Analog output of the DC in between there is small current amplifier is also required to drive the power transistor

This linear approach is very un-efficient for 10 Amp DC load!

yasser_shoukry, continue with your PWM control idea. PIC18F has Internal PWM module can be used directly.

Microchip have lots of literature related to DC servo motor control you can search from their site.
I recoomend app-note # an532,an696,an718,an893,an894,an896,an899.
