PID Control for a Manipulator Robot Using Internet Networking and Matlab-based

Abstract

This paper presents the design to the implementation of the proportional, integral and derivative (PID) remote control system of robot manipulator using Matlab-based Internet network. These studies seek the solution of distance operations, time constraints, and monitoring the operation response of robot manipulator motion as robot that possible to carry dangerous objects which is should be monitored remotely during the operation. PID control system that is controlled remotely by the client and server systems. The monitoring process of robot manipulator is Matlab-based. Testing is done by doing observation to the speed response of the DC motor as the robot’s axis driver on open loop system condition, and then doing observation using PID control system. The test of axis robot driver has also been carried out with a variety of no-load and load conditions. The test results showed the motor driver of robot will work optimally when using PID control system. The data acquisition and the stability of data communication between the client and server are affected by the condition of the existing data transfer on the network and also the distance from the server to the plant.
