This paper deals with the use of a FOPID Controller for the direct current motor speed controlling process. FOPID Controller consists of fractional integral-derivative terms along with the integer-order proportional terms.  It is a specific controller in which orders of derivative and integral lie in between fractions of 0 and 1. Mathematical model of DC motor and controller is presented whose field has been excited by an external source. In this paper, the simulation part of a DC motor for cont
