This system provides a wide range of smooth and precisely controlled low and high speeds for pan-tilt-zoom surveillance cameras, in which a brushless motor is controlled by a Microcontroller in a low speed mode by sinusoidal synchronous commutation, in a high speed mode by block commutation, and in in a transition phase from the low speed mode to the high speed mode by modulating integrated pulse-width modulation (PWM) square waves with sine waves. PID and lookup table registers are used by a microcontroller for a smooth transition from high speed mode to low speed mode, and from low speed mode to high speed mode, phase locking a sine position during transitions, in order to give a surveillance camera an ability to quickly move from one target to another at up to 100 degrees per second yet track objects that are moving very slowly.

Abstract:
The present invention provides control for synchronous machines in order to achieve an approximately constant torque irrespective of the load angle. The induced voltage of the synchronous machine rotating with a zero-current of the stator is first determined. Starting from the voltage plot of the induced voltage over the load angle, a current plot which achieves a constant torque irrespective of the load angle or any other default settings, can then be calculated. In particular, a non-sinusoidal current plot can also be calculated for non-sinusoidal plots of the induced voltage in the synchronous machine, in order to achieve desired settings that are as constant as possible irrespective of the load angle of the synchronous machine.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a control device and a control method for a brushless motor, including energization modes for selecting a phase to be energized by pulse width modulation operation from among phases of the brushless motor, and being provided for controlling the rotation speed of the brushless motor by switching between the energization modes based on comparison of a voltage induced in a non-energized phase with its threshold value. In the control device and method, the input voltage of the brushless motor is increased when the duration for which the induced voltage is maintained unchanged or the duration for which the current energization mode is maintained employed reaches a predetermined time. This prevents the brushless motor from being staying in the stopped state, even when the load on the brushless motor abruptly increases while the brushless motor rotates at a speed within an extremely low speed range.
