The DC Servo Motor has been used as an actuator in automatic control fields because of the good response and the control easiness nevertheless it has some disadvantage such as spark at the brush. Recently, along with the fast development of semiconductor industries, the digital control scheme is increasing in comparison with analog control because of the strength against noise and the accuracy. In this paper, authors proposed a combined control algorithm, which is mixed Modified Minimum Time Position Control(MMTPC) and PI control algorithm. for minimum time position control of DC Servo Motor by the one-chip microcontroller. The proposed control algorithm showed the fast response and offset-free. The validity of the proposed method comparing with the VSS control is proved by the response experiments.

Analog PID controllers have been designed to make good use of position control in industries. Recently, the importance of digital position control is emphasized for the requirements of controller which are not only to control the objects but to include various aspects such as easiness of design and implementation, simple exchange of control program and convenient communications of data between various controllers and a host computer. This study proposes a combined control method which is mixed the vaiable structure control (VSC) with the PI control for minimum time position control of DC servo motor by microcomputer. The results of test by this method show offset-free and minimum time optimal position control which is not affected by the disturbance and the system parameter variations. The validity of the proposed method comparing with the conventional PID control is proved by the response experiments.
