    This project aims to control the speed of a DC motor using pulse width modulation generated by a microcontroller. PWM pulses are sent to a motor driver IC which controls the speed of a small DC motor. The microcontroller allows setting different speed ranges through duty cycle adjustments. An LCD display shows the running speed and buttons are used to control speed. This provides a reliable and economical way to vary DC motor speed. Future work could use higher power devices like IGBTs to control industrial motors.

    SPEED CONTROL UNIT DESIGNED FOR A DC MOTOR

    ABSTRACT
    A DC motor is an attractive piece of equipment in many industrial applications requiring
    variable speed and load characteristics due to its ease of controllability.
    The aim of developing this project is to control the speed of a DC motor. The main
    advantage of using a DC motor is that the Speed-Torque relationship can be varied to
    almost any useful form. To achieve the speed control, an electronic technique called Pulse
    Width Modulation is used, which generates high and low pulses. These pulses vary the
    speed of the motor. This system uses two input buttons interfaced to the microcontroller,
    which are used to control the speed of the motor. For the generation of these pulses, a
    microcontroller is used. As a microcontroller is used, setting the speed ranges as per the
    requirement is easy, which is done by changing the duty cycles time period in the program.
    A motor-driver IC is interfaced to the microcontroller for receiving PWM signals and
    delivering desired output for speed control of a small DC motor. The program that is fed in
    the controller can be written in Assembly language or in Embedded C. An LCD display is
    interfaced to the microcontroller to display the running speed of the motor.
    This project is practical and highly feasible from the economic point of view, and has an
    advantage of running motors of higher ratings. This project gives a reliable, durable,
    accurate and efficient way of controlling speed of a DC motor.
    In future this proposed system can be heightened by implementing power electronic
    devices such as IGBTs to achieve speed controllable higher capacity industrial motors.
