Pal and youssef [15, 16] proposed a simple self-tuning
scheme for PI-type fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) for a real
time water pressure control system and induction motor speed
drive improvement. Zaky [17] proposed a self-tuning PI
controller for the speed control of electrical motor drives and its
parameters will be updated online depending on the speed error.
Kota [18] used PID controller and fuzzy logic controller for
control separately excited dc motor. Fuzzy self-tuning PID has
better dynamic response curve, shorter response time, small
overshoot, and small steady state error compared to the
conventional PID controller. Fawaz [19] presented a simulation
and hardware implementation of a closed loop control of a
separately excited dc motor using a self-tuning PID controller.
It gives very acceptable results in the reduction of overshoot,
stability time and the steady-state transient response of the
controlled plant. Saad [20] proved that the proposed Neural
Network (NN) self-tuning PID controller is more efficient to
control the robot manipulator to follow the desired trajectory
compared to classical tuning method of PID controller. Alfonso
[21] introduced a new self-tuning algorithm is developed for
determining the Fourier Series Controller coefficients with the
aim of reducing the torque ripple in a Permanent Magnet
Synchronous Motor (PMSM), thus allowing for a smoother
operation. This algorithm adjusts the controller parameters
based on the component's harmonic distortion in time domain
of the compensation signal also [22] used NNPID like
controller which is tuned when the controller is operating in an
on line mode for high performance permanent magnet
synchronous motor PMSM position control.
In this paper a new technique is proposed that gives a good
control for the dc motor. An online control algorithm is
structured using the radial basis function neural network
(RBFNN). The dc motor parameters are estimated on line and
are used to update the weights of the RBFNN. The weight
update equations are derived based on the least mean squares
principle. The RBFNN virtually models the inverse of the dc
motor and thus the output tracks the reference trajectory. This
scheme is exposed to several types of disturbances for wide
range of operating conditions. The armature resistance and
rotor inertia for the dc motor are varied due to the temperature
deviation and also, take in account the changing of disturbance
torque. The rest of the paper is organized as follow: In section
2 presents the proposed structure. The simulation results are
presented in Section 3 and the conclusion is presented in
section 4.
Abstract—This paper introduces the inverse control design using
neural network based self tuning regulator (STR) for control the
DC servo motor. The controller is the radial basis function
neural network (RBFNN) and acts as inverse of the DC servo
motor. The dc motor parameters are estimated online using the
system identification method where uses the Auto-regressive
moving average (ARX) model which depends on the input and
output values of the DC servo motor. The difference between the
output of the dc motor and the reference signal is used to adjust
coefficients of ARX model. These coefficients of ARX are used to
update the weights of the RBFNN. The weight update equations
are derived based on the least mean squares principle. The speed
output tracks the reference trajectory though the self tuning
regulator (STR) structure exposed to different types of
disturbances for wide range of operating conditions. Then
compared
its
result
with
the
result
of
using
proportional-plus-integral feedback (PI) self tuning regulator.

I. INTRODUCTION
A
daptive control schemes are used for the control of plants,
where the parameters of the plant are not known exactly or
slowly time varying. Some reasons for using Adaptive control
such as variations in process dynamics and variations in the
character of the disturbances [1, 2]. Enzeng and others [3]
present a neural network based self tuning PID controller for
autonomous underwater vehicle, the control system consists of
neural network identifier and neural network controller, and the
weights of neural networks are trained by using Davidon least
square method, also[4].
Neural network (NN) is a good structure for control the
nonlinear plants and has many types [5, 6]. Kumar [7] used
neural network for modeling the retention process and as
controller. In this paper, we used the RBFNN as a controller.
This type is faster one and uses least number of neurons at
hidden layer [8, 9]. The inverse control means that the
controller (RBFNN) acts the inverse of the plant (dc motor) so
the output tracks the reference input [10].
The DC motors have been extensively used in control
systems. The main advantages of dc motors are easy speed or
position control and wide adjustable range Therefore, DC
motors are often used in a variety of industrial applications such
as robotic manipulator, where a wide range of motions are
required to follow a predetermined speed or position trajectory
under variable load [11,12,13]. Sabahi [14] used a new adaptive
and nonlinear control based on neural network approaches, this
method has been named feedback error learning (FEL)
approaches, that classical controller is used for training of
neural network feedforward controller.
II. PROPOSED STRUCTURE
Figure (1) is the proposed structure. Autoregressive with
exogenous input (ARX) is used to identify the dc motor and
found the model. The model coefficients are updated online
depending on dc motor parameters variation. These coefficients
are fed the weight update block which trains the controller

D. Parameters estimation for self-tuning of RBFNN/PI
The parameters of the DC servo motor model are estimated
online and are used to update the coefficients of the controller
(weights of the RBFNN / parameters of PI). The
weight/coefficient update equations are derived based on a
recursive scheme (least mean squares principle). This previous
parameters are updated by minimizing the performance index

is the norm matrix and  (.) is the nonlinear basis function.
Normally this function is taken as a Gaussian function of width

hidden layer, given by

If the armature circuit of a DC servo motor is connected to the
output of a single-phase controlled rectifier, the armature
voltage can be varied by varying the delay angle of the

As we see the radial basis function (RBF) network utilized a
radial construction mechanism. This gives the hidden layer
parameters of RBF networks a better interpretation than for the
multilayer perceptron network MLP, and therefore allows new,
faster training methods.

exposed to different disturbances as previous counterpart. Fig.

to the square input and the error signal between the reference

tracking error of RBFNN controller is less than it.
Figure 10 shows the effect of the armature resistance
fluctuation at maximum value R=15Ω at specified period
t  300 , where the resistance has the range 2  R  15 . The
output system mimics the trajectory exactly until the armature
resistance became 15 Ω. But the error between the response of
the system and the reference signal is not smaller than radial
basis regulator.
Figure 11 shows the effect of variance for the rotor inertia at
specified period t  300 . The speed of the dc drive follows the
excitation signal but with the tracking error greater than
RBFNN tracking error; however, the ARX model parameters
value fluctuate sharply and this is not good.

III. SIMULATION RESULTS
Td  .3 N.m at 300  t  400 . The PI self tuning controller
The proposed self-tuning regulator (STR) structure exposed
to different disturbances as dc motor does in life. The dc motor
meets to changing in its parameters due to increased
temperature. This paper studies these variations where the
motor model parameters are estimated online and are used to
update the weights of the RBFNN at the same instant.
Fig. 4 shows the efficient response of the RBFNN to the
square input and the error signal between the reference and the
RBFNN output, in the case no disturbance. The changing of
temperature has an impact upon the parameters of a dc motor as
an armature resistance and rotor inertia. Fig. 5 show the effect
of variance for the armature resistance at maximum value
R=14.8Ω at specified period t  300 , where the resistance has
the range 2  R  14.8 . The output system takes the same
trajectory until the armature resistance became 14.9 Ω.
Fig. 6 show the effect of variance for the rotor inertia at
maximum value J  0.08 Kg.m2 at specified period t  300
the output system has small tracking error but the parameters
evolution turn into large values when the rotor inertia increases,
so the inertia has the range 0.02  J  0.08 .
In the life, we must take account of the disturbance torque.
Fig. 7 illustrates the efficient output while this disturbance
reach to maximum value Td  1.5 N.m at specified period
doesn't work well with this kind of disturbance. In aspect of its
small value versus the neural network gives bad result with big
magnitude disturbance.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
In this work the RBFNN based STR is implemented for
precise speed control of DC servo motor that updates itself
online. Recursive least mean squares method is used for
training the RBFNN controller or PI controller. The parameters
ARX model chooses arbitrary then updates on line using
recursive algorithm.
From simulation result, the DC servo motor speed mimics
the desired speed with smaller tracking error when using
RBFNN than using PI. The changing of temperature is affected
on the armature resistance and rotor inertia for the DC servo
motor; also we take in account the changing of disturbance
torque. The proposed STR structure exposed to all pervious
disturbances separately and simultaneously.
The adaptive RBFNN self-tuning regulator introduces a
good solution for control the DC servo motor even if the model
meets a different individual disturbances or synchronous
disturbances. The RBFNN is a fast neural network compared
with others type due to using least mean squares principle as
training algorithm. Its structure has two neurons in hidden
layer.
In future work, can be used genetic algorithm to determine
the parameters of the DC servo motor self tuning based on
neural network or on PI.
