Abstract :
In this article, we discuss the design and implementation of the speed control system. The complete design task is divided into three parts. The system design team handles the modeling, design, and simulation of the control system. Simultaneously, the analog design team transforms the transfer functions generated by the system design team into an electronic circuit on PCB. The two teams jointly test the circuit, integrate it into the model train, and tune the system.
