% This is a state-space DC motor model of a

% This model also have a weak connection to a load.

%            The full dc motor model                      %

% Vin is the input voltage to the motor
% i is the motor current
% th_m is the rotor angle, theta
% dth_m is the rotor angular velocity sometimes called omega
% th_l is the load angle
% dth_l is the load angular velocity

% Controller Sample Time
Ts = 100e-6;

% PARAMETERS DC MOTOR

Kt = 0.0235;            % Torque constand (Nm/A)
