This chapter explains the role of speed-controlled drives in general automation and industrial robots, identifies the basic elements of the speedcontrolled system, defines the control objective, and devises control strategies. Fundamental terms related to continuous-and discrete-time implementation are defined. An insight is given into the role and characteristics of the torque actuator, comprising the servo motor and the power converter. Separately excited DC motor coupled with an inertial load is analyzed as a sample speed controlled system.
