<p> The following study is an attempt to design a minimum-time digital
position controller. </p> <p> The. investigation of the theoretical problem of the minimum time
position control leads to a survey of stepping motors, which seem to
provide a natural solution to the problem. However the permanentic d.c.
motor is shown to be more suitable. Approximate switching characteristics
are derived from the mathematical models chosen. </p> <p> Quantizing the shaft position, a digital controller is practically implemented and the experimental results confirm the theory. </p> <p> To solve the trickiest problem of measuring the velocity of the
shaft, a new concept of digital tachometer is derived and implemented.
Providing a very high precision and resolution, the new tachometer proved
itself much better than any other instrument available now, and its direct
application to the controller simplifies the latter and improves it
considerably. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
