    摘要: A field oriented control (FOC) system and method provides smooth field-oriented startup for three-phase sensorless permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) despite the absence of load information. The system uses the rotor flux projection on the d- or q-axis to determine whether the stator flux current reference being applied during reference startup phase is sufficient to spin the PMSM, thereby providing smooth operation during the reference startup phase and saving energy relative to applying rated current. The system also determines a suitable initial value for the stator torque current reference to use at the start of closed-loop sensorless FOC control mode based on an angle difference between the reference and estimated angles. Since this angle difference is reflective of the load on the PMSM, the selected initial value allows the system to achieve a smooth transition from reference startup mode to closed-loop sensorless FOC control mode.

    摘要: A motion control design system implements a performance specification-oriented design approach. The system allows a designer to define desired performance specifications that are to be satisfied by a motion system, and determines tuning parameters (e.g., controller bandwidth and associated tuning parameters) that will yield performance within the defined performance specifications. An identification process identifies system parameters of interest based on collected system data. After the user has entered the desired performance specifications, an optimization process determines a range of bandwidths that will satisfy all specified performance requirements, and selects an optimal bandwidth within this range. A tuning process generates the corresponding tuning parameters for a systematically designed motion controller. Rather than using an optimal solver, the design system stores relationships between performance specifications and the major tuning parameter as matrices or mapping functions, given system parameters as inputs, making the design system suitable for embedded systems.

    摘要: Systems and methods for estimating an inertia and a friction coefficient for a controlled mechanical system are provided. In one or more embodiments, an inertia estimator can generate a torque command signal that varies continuously over time during a testing sequence. The velocity of a motion system in response to the time-varying torque command signal is measured and recorded during the testing sequence. The inertia estimator then estimates the inertia and/or the friction coefficient of the motion system based on the torque command data sent to the motion system and the measured velocity data. In some embodiments, the inertia estimator estimates the inertia and the friction coefficient based on integrals of the torque command data and the velocity data.

    摘要: A system parameter identification system uses a combination of relay control and sinusoidal injection to derive accurate estimates of system parameters of a controlled system or process while satisfying the rate-limit associated with some control applications. The system uses rate-limited relay control with hysteresis to place the system in oscillation. The system then switches the control signal from relay-based control to open-loop sinusoidal control using oscillation frequency, amplitude, and phase information obtained during the relay control stage. During the sinusoidal control phase, the plant output passes through a bandpass filter at the oscillation frequency to get a clean sinusoidal signal. The phase difference between the input and output signals and the output/input amplitude ratio are then obtained and used to calculate of the system parameters.

    摘要: A curve fitting system implements a multi-level curve fitting approach to obtain a mapping between variables of interest. According to this approach, the system establishes first curve fitting relationships between a first variable of interest and a second variable of interest for sets of values of the independent variables. Then, second curve fitting relationships are established between the coefficients of the previously established curve fitting relationships and one of the independent variables for multiple value sets of the remaining independent variables. These recursive curve fitting operations are repeated until curve fitting relationships are obtained for all of the independent variables. The system then generates mapping data based on the curve fitting relationships, where the mapping data defines a mapping from the first independent variable to the second independent variable. This technique can be applied to determine functional relationships between tuning parameters and performance parameters of a motion system.

    摘要: A system for tuning a control system uses a simplified tuning procedure to generate robustly stabilizing tuning parameters that reduce or eliminate undesired system oscillations in the presence of long system dead times or phase lag. A control method is used to establish a relationship between the plant parameters of a controlled system and the tuning parameters of a parameterized active disturbance rejection controller determined to be optimal or substantially optimal for the control system. The plant parameters include the system gain, time constant, and dead time. Corresponding tuning parameters include the controller bandwidth and a system gain estimate. Using the system gain estimate as a tuning parameter can alleviate the influence of large dead times or phase lags on system response. Once established, these fixed relationships can be used to determine suitable tuning parameters for specific motion or process control applications based on the system gain and dominant constraints of the system.
