The project focuses on position control of the DC Servo Motor MS150 Servomotor Modular. The objectives of the project is to design and develop an advanced control strategy for the use in the servomotor as well as to observe, evaluate and compare the controller performances of a proposed advanced controller – Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with the conventional controller that is Proportional – Integral – Derivative (PID) Control. This approach is selected to investigate and evaluate the conventional method in controlling the position of DC servomotor due to the advantage of cost reduction, simplicity, flexibility and also provides better performance. Based on the information obtained from servomotor modular, the controllers are designed and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK to analyze their initial performance. Finally, the performance of the controllers are compared and evaluated and the validation is done in terms of time response, overshoot response and steady – state error.
