Abstract: A system for controlling a synchronous motor drive may be configured to receive a command voltage signal and to identify, in the synchronous motor drive, a resistance imbalance signature from the command voltage signal. The system may determine, based on the resistance imbalance signature, respective phase resistances that correspond to phases of a synchronous motor of the synchronous motor drive. Each respective phase resistance may include a phase transistor resistance and a phase winding resistance. The system may identify, based on the phase resistances and an estimated average resistance between the phases of the synchronous motor, one or more phases of the synchronous motor that correspond to one or more phase resistances representing a resistance imbalance.

Abstract: One or more embodiments are described for preventing controller windup in a motion control system. An example system includes a regulator that receives an input command to adjust a motion control variable of a mechanical system that includes a motor, the regulator configured to generate a first torque command based on the input command and an output torque from the motor. The system further includes a motor control module that receives the first torque command to generate an input torque command that is sent to the motor. The system further includes an anti-windup module that is configured to generate an anti-windup command based on the first torque command and the output torque, the anti-windup command being added to the input command that is sent to the regulator.

Abstract: A method for vehicle stabilization includes, in response to a determination that a fault occurred in a rear steering mechanism, identifying a fault type associated with the fault. The method also includes determining whether a position of a rack of the rear steering mechanism is controllable based on the fault type. The method also includes, in response to a determination that the position of the rack is controllable, selectively positioning the rack to a center position and holding, using a motor control system of the rear steering mechanism, the rack in the center position. The method also includes, in response to a determination that the position of the rack is not controllable, holding, using the motor control system of the rear steering mechanism, the rack in a current position.

Abstract: A control system for monitoring operation of an electric motor includes a plurality of position sensors configured to measure a position of the electric motor, an indirect position estimation module configured to indirectly estimate the position of the motor, and an error monitoring module. The error monitoring module is configured to perform at least one of: comparing a measured position from the plurality of position sensors to an estimated position from the sensor position estimation module, and detecting a failure of at least one of the one or more position sensors based on the comparison; and calculating a difference between the measured position from one of the plurality of position sensors and the measured position from another of the plurality of position sensors, and causing the indirect position estimation module to initiate estimation of the position of the motor based on the difference.

Abstract: Technical features of a steering system include a control module that dynamically determines an operating mode based on a set of input signal values such as lateral acceleration signal values and corresponding handwheel position values. The control module dynamically determines and learns classification boundaries between multiple operating modes based the input signal values. The control module further calibrates the steering system according to operating mode that is determined using the classification boundaries.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for a motor control system that includes a feedforward control module to control an output torque generated by the motor. The feedforward controlling includes computing a first voltage command for the motor based on an input torque signal. Further, the feedforward controlling includes computing a second voltage command for the motor based on a brush drop voltage of the motor and a back-EMF drop voltage of the motor. Further, feedforward controlling includes computing a voltage command for the motor by summing the first voltage command and the second voltage command. Further yet, the feedforward controlling includes sending the voltage command to the motor for generating the output torque.

Abstract: An embodiment of a system for determining a sensor failure in a motor control system with at least three phase current measurements includes a magnitude computation module that determines a magnitude of a diagnostic voltage, the diagnostic voltage represented in a stator frame and based on a difference between an input voltage command and a final voltage command, and a phase evaluation module that determines a phase value of the diagnostic voltage based on the diagnostic voltage. The system also includes a sensor failure identification module that identifies a current sensor failure based on the phase value of the diagnostic voltage, the sensor failure represented by a failure signal, and a current calculation transition module that modifies a calculation scheme for determining a measurement of motor current based on the sensor failure.
