  ABSTRACT: In orthopaedic surgeries, permanent magnet DC motors are used to drill the bone and fix the screws. The Motor drive employs an inner current and outer speed control loop with a conventional or modern controller. To enhance the performance of the drive, this paper proposes a Brain Emotional Logic Based Intelligent Controller based chopper drive. The proposed drive scheme has been simulated using Matlab/Simulink and physically realized for validation. A comparative analysis has been made between the conventional PI controller based drive and the proposed system in order to prove that the proposed scheme has an edge over the traditional PI controller scheme counterpart.
