What is the role of a controller or driver in a feedback system?

A feedback-enabled controller/driver closes the loop between your motion command and motor output. It reads real-time data (position, speed, torque) from sensors like encoders, compares it to the desired setpoint, and instantly tweaks motor currents or step pulses to correct any error. This prevents missed steps and stalls, delivering smooth, accurate motion under varying loads.

How does it use feedback signals to regulate motor behavior?

Repeat

This loop runs thousands of times per second, smoothing acceleration, compensating for disturbances, and maintaining precision.

Acquire

High-resolution encoder measures actual shaft angle and speed.

Compare

Controller computes error = (commanded – actual).

Adjust

It modifies drive outputs (PWM duty, current limit or pulse rate) to reduce error.

Which control algorithms are typically implemented?

Control algorithms are essential in modern systems to maintain performance, accuracy, and stability. Among them, the PID controller is the most widely used, but other variations and advanced methods are also applied depending on the system requirements.

Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)

Most common in robotics, automation, and manufacturing. Uses proportional (current error), integral (past error), and derivative (rate of error change) terms to minimize errors and improve stability.

Proportional-Integral (PI)

Omits the derivative term; preferred in systems like temperature control where rapid changes are not critical and noise must be reduced.

Proportional-Derivative (PD)

Omits the integral term; suitable where steady-state error can be tolerated but overshoot and disturbances must be minimized.

Adaptive Control

Adjusts parameters automatically in real time; useful for systems with unpredictable or changing dynamics (e.g., robotics, aerodynamics).

Fuzzy Logic Control

Works with imprecise inputs; widely used in systems involving human interaction (e.g., automotive).

Model Predictive Control (MPC)

Uses system models to predict future behavior and optimize control actions; effective in complex, multi-variable systems such as chemical processes.

These algorithms, especially PID and its variants, form the backbone of automation and process control. Feedback-enabled controllers continually optimize system inputs and outputs, ensuring stability, efficiency, and reliable performance.

What distinguishes feedback controllers from open-loop drivers?

Feedback-enabled controllers continually measure actual motor output and correct any deviations in real time. They maintain sub-step or sub-degree precision, adapt automatically to changes in load or supply voltage, and produce smooth, damped motion. In contrast, open-loop drivers issue fixed commands without any sensing: they cannot detect or correct errors, are prone to missed steps or drift if conditions change, and may oscillate or stall under stress. Open-loop drivers suit simple, predictable tasks (basic conveyors, fans, pumps), whereas feedback controllers shine in robotics, CNC machining and any application demanding high precision and reliability.
