Abstract : This paper presents the development of a microcontroller based motor speed control system using Intel 8051. The motor speed control system under consideration entails a closed loop real time control system, where a very high resolution optical encoder is coupled to the motor shaft to provide the feedback speed signal via the microcontroller (Intel 8051). The microcontroller acts as a proportional controller with different values of gain (Kp). In order to maintain a constant speed, the pulse width modulation signal generated via the microcontroller is sent to the motor driver so as to vary the voltage supply to motor. A visual studio (C#) program, which provides the graphical user interface for the user to input the desired speed, is developed. Thus, the developed system could be used to monitor the performance of motor under varying loads through the controller.
