The procedure of parameters identification of DC motor model using a method of recursive least squares is described in this paper. To identify the system an experimental measuring of signals was carrying out at input - supply of voltage and output of the system for identification - motor angle speed. For the needs of the experiment, a system has been configured with a motor and an optical encoder whose output is connected with the counter input of acquisition card LCK-6013 which over a block connector CB-68LP makes a connection with a computer. The speed of the motor measured by optical encoder is compared with the speed of identified system in order to confirm the quality of the motor model’s parameters estimation.
