I. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, with the progress of science and technology,
power electronic technology has been developed rapidly; the
application of DC motor is more and more widely. It has good
characteristics of speed control, speed smooth, convenient, and
wide range of speed regulation. Overload capacity can
withstand the impact of frequent load, and realize step less
frequent fast starting, braking and reverse. In order to meet the
operating requirements of various special production process
automation systems, the DC motor speed regulation is put
forward higher request. The technology to change the armature
loop resistance speed adjustment or change the armature
voltage adjusting speed cannot meet the requirements, then
through the PWM control of DC motor speed control methods
emerge when the times require [1].

motor (load), pause, continuous, and other functions [2]. The
DC motor system designed by the oscillator and clock circuit
module, input module, control module, display module, and
DC motor PWM control implementation module. Oscillator
and clock module is mainly composed of 80C51 and some
capacitor, and crystal vibration. Design input module is mainly
realized by interruption of independent type keyboard. Design
control module is mainly composed of 80C51 external interrupt
extend circuit. Design and display module includes liquid
crystal display parts and LED digital display. DC motor PWM
control implementation module [3] is mainly composed of
some of diode, motor, base and L298 DC motor driver module.
III. THE HARDWARE CIRCUIT DESIGN
The basic hardware circuit of DC motor PWM speed
regulation design is mainly composed of single chip
microcomputer of the entire control module, L298 motor driver
module, LED display module, independent keyboard control
module, clock module, and reset circuit module.
A. The Whole Control Module of Single Chip Microcomputer
It can send PWM pulse wave automatically by setting
single chip microcomputer initialization, and change the size of
the average voltage through changing the DC motor armature
voltage duty ratios at the same time, in order to control the
speed of the motor [4].
B. L298 Motor Driver Module
L298 is a monolithic with 15 pins. It has high voltage, high
current and four-channel driver. It can be used to realize the
reception of DTL L298 or TTL logic level. Because the L298
is double H high voltage large current power integrated circuit,
it can use the L logic level control directly, so can be used to
drive the relay, DC motors, stepping motors and other
inductive loads.
In addition, you can drive switch power transistor [5]. Its
interior also includes four-channel logic driving circuit, its
rated current of 1A, and can reach 1.5A. VSS minimum
voltage is 4.5V, and up to 36V.The maximum voltage VS is
also 36V. L298 can control the motor circuit directly, and
isolation is not required.

Because the motor has a great sensibility, the current cannot XTAL2
be mutated, and if the current is suddenly cut off, it will
produce a higher voltage power tube ends, resulting in damage
to the device. So we applied to the diode in the driver circuit to
protect the freewheeling L298 chip. This circuit mainly uses Fig. 4. The clock module

V. SYSTEM FUNCTION DEBUGGING
A. Debugging Software
Proteus software is a kind of low investment electronic
design automation software. It can realize the circuit design
and simulation, and it is a complete simulation platform of
embedded software and hardware. The ISIS module is mainly
used to complete the circuit diagram of the layout and
simulation, which is different from other software advantage. It
can simulate a large number of single-chip microcomputer and
microcontroller peripheral circuit. By using the Proteus
software, we can easily obtain a full-featured, easy to use
microcontroller laboratory [9].
KeilC51 software is also one of the outstanding MCU
development software which is set to edit, compile, simulation
in one integrated development and debugging tools, and it
supports the assembler, C language, PLM language of design,
and all Windows interface. It is user-friendly and easy to learn
and use [10].
When the circuit design is complete, in order to reduce the
difficulty of debugging the board, and to ensure the accuracy of
circuit design, the .HEX that compiles the generated from
KeilC51 will be file loaded into Proteus software, realizing
circuit simulation.

C. Analysis of the Simulation Results of the System
When the simulation starts, each module is in the initial
state. The level of both ends of the H Bridge is low, and the
motor is stopped. When the acceleration or deceleration of the
independent keyboard is pressed, the display module begins to
display the numbers. If you click on the positive or reverse
rotation, the direction of rotation of the motor will be changed.
Motor drive module can achieve the motor reversing,
acceleration and deceleration, stop and other operations. And
when the duty cycle of the PWM pulse is changed, the
operating voltage of the motor will be changed. From this, we
can see from the simulation results that the design can achieve
the expected results of the simulation.
