Abstract

State space systems and experimental system identification are essential components of control education. This paper suggests an undergraduate physical experiment for directly identifying the state space model of a DC motor in the laboratory. The experiment is designed using standard undergraduate control laboratory equipment. It does not require advanced knowledge in control and it does not place simplifying assumptions on the motor's model. It is easy to understand and has a good informative component that gracefully introduces an undergraduate student to advanced mathematical tools with direct tangible laboratory outcome.
