Simulation of a Computer Printer DC Servomotor Positioning for Fast Response Performance

Most of the low-cost product commonly used in homes and offices such as printers, domestic appliances, air conditioning system etc., and a DC motor belt drive arrangement is used for positioning, speed, and precision performance improvement. This paper has presented simulation of a computer printer DC servomotor positioning for high speed performance. It is required to improve the positioning and speed performance of a computer printer. Then the objective is to design a compensator that will be included in the forward path of the servomotor system. The dynamic model of a DC motor used for positioning and speed control of a printer is obtained. A proportional integral and derivative (PID) compensator is designed using MATLAB software PID block of Simulink. Simulations were conducted for two different conditions, uncompensated and compensated. The compensated system proves more effective and efficient with respect to the settling time, settling time and overshoot
