Speed Synchronization of Multiple Motors in the Textile Industry

Abstract

In the many industries, synchronization of motor is very important. The difference in motor or desynchronization in motor leads to wastage of power and wastage of resources. The main aim of this project is to run the multiple motors simultaneously using wireless technology. Example, in textile industry, motor worked simultaneously on conveyor belt to draw the cloth. It is important that multiple motors run at the same speed. So, to avoid damaging the cloth, to solve this problem, this project is implemented. Speed synchronization of multiple motors in textile industry using Arduino UNO, BLDC motor, potentiometer, LCD, IR sensor, RF module of 433 MHz, and ESC,LCD.It has a transmitter side motor. The speed is measured in RPM using IR sensor and receiver receives the wirelessly using RF receiver module. Receiver side data and speed adjust according to transmitter motor speed. This helps to run all motors at the same speed.

Introduction

In textile industries, machines like spinning and weaving often use multiple motors that must run at the same speed. If their speeds differ, problems such as thread breakage, material wastage, and poor product quality occur. To solve this, the project “Speed Synchronization of Multiple Motors in the Textile Industry” aims to match the speed of all motors using a wireless control system.

The system uses Arduino UNO, BLDC motors, IR sensors, ESC, RF transmitter–receiver modules, LCD, and a potentiometer. The speed of the main (master) motor is measured using an IR sensor, and this RPM data is sent wirelessly through a 433 MHz RF module. The receiving motor (slave) automatically adjusts its speed to match the master motor using PWM signals via the ESC. This ensures all motors run at the same speed without manual intervention.

Literature Review Summary

Previous studies highlight that:

• Speed synchronization is essential in textile, paper, and robotics industries to avoid product damage.

• Wireless synchronization reduces differential speed errors and power consumption.

• BLDC motors controlled by PWM and microcontrollers (Arduino, etc.) are widely used.

• RF-based communication effectively synchronizes multiple motors by transmitting speed data from a master to multiple slave motors.

• Closed-loop feedback with IR sensors improves accuracy and prevents oscillations even under changing load conditions.

System Design Overview

Major components include:

• BLDC Motor – high efficiency, low noise.

• ESC – converts DC to 3-phase AC and controls motor speed via PWM.

• RF Transmitter & Receiver – sends speed data wirelessly.

• IR Sensor – measures motor RPM.

• Arduino UNO – processes sensor data and generates control signals.

• Potentiometer & LCD – allow manual speed setting and display RPM.

Block diagrams show separate transmitter and receiver sections:

• Transmitter: Measures master motor speed → sends data

• Receiver: Receives data → adjusts slave motor speed

Methodology

A flowchart describes reading RPM using IR sensors, transmitting data, receiving data, comparing speeds, and adjusting the slave motor via ESC until synchronization is achieved.

Experimental Analysis

Testing involved running all motors together and continuously measuring RPM. Errors were analyzed, such as:

• Communication delay

• ESC response time

• Load variations

• Calibration and sensor inaccuracies

Synchronization performance was checked by comparing the fastest and slowest motor speeds at each point.

Results and Discussion

• Wireless 433 MHz synchronization performed successfully for textile applications.

• All motors maintained consistent speed even under load variation.

• Real-time RPM measurement and adjustment worked reliably.

• RF module range (15–30 meters) provided stable communication with minimal data loss.

• TX and RX outputs confirmed proper data transmission and speed matching.

Conclusion

The speed synchronization of multiple motors in textile industry is very important for smooth and reliable of machines in industry. By using wireless communication systems as Arduino ,rf module ,IR sensor, esc ,potentiometer, LCD,BLDC motor, power supply etc. All motors can run at the same speed without manual adjustment through air wirelessly with the help of rf transmitter. This help in the fabric quality, reduce wastage of resources, reduce energy consumption enhance automation and increase productivity
