ABSTRACT

The goal of this project is to build a four-quadrant DC motor speed control system. The motor has four quadrants of operation: clockwise, counter clockwise, forward brake, and reverse brake. It also features a speed control function. The DC motor's four-quadrant operation is best suited for industries where motors are used based on needs. They can rotate in both clockwise and counter clockwise directions, and brakes can be applied simultaneously in both directions. When performing a certain activity in an industrial plant, the motor must be stopped instantly. In this situation, the proposed system is ideal because it includes both forward and reverse brakes. Instantaneous braking in both directions is performed by briefly applying a reverse voltage across the running motor, and the motor's speed may be controlled using PWM pulses provided by the Arduino Board. This operation is performed using an Arduino Microcontroller Board. The motor is controlled by push buttons that are connected to the Arduino, which receives an input signal and regulates the speed of the motor with a motor driver IC. This project also has a speed control option with a push-button operation.
