Abstract
The objective of this paper is to examine the Quanser SRV-02 motor servo for the presence of an accidental sliding mode. The SRV-02 is used by undergraduate students to learn basic concepts in controls engineering and will display unexpected sliding mode behavior when its in the “out of box” configuration. To gain a strong background understanding in characteristics of sliding mode, a review of literature on sliding-mode control and sliding mode behavior is completed. Next, a theoretical analysis of the SRV-02 motor servo during the sliding mode is developed. An effort is made to find a Lyapunov function that proves system stability. A novel method to detect a sliding mode in empirical data is proposed. Finally, additional empirical data of the system response are collected over several trials and analyzed.
