Abstract: A motor control system is provided comprising an electrically charged battery, an electrical motor, a battery voltage sensor, a motor speed sensor, an armature voltage sensor, an armature current sensor, and a microprocessor. The magnitude of the armature current applied to the motor is a function of a predetermined armature current setpoint signal and the magnitude of the field current applied to the motor is a function of a predetermined field current setpoint signal, a field current correction signal, and a field current de-boost signal. The microprocessor programmed to generate an armature current setpoint signal, a field current setpoint signal, and an armature voltage reference signal.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a motor control system is provided comprising an electrical motor, a motor speed sensor, a speed command generator, an armature voltage sensor, and a microprocessor. The electrical motor includes an armature assembly and a field assembly. The armature assembly is responsive to an armature current, the magnitude of which is a function of a predetermined armature current setpoint. The field assembly is responsive to a field current, the magnitude of which is a function of a predetermined field current setpoint and a field current correction signal. The motor speed sensor is arranged to generate an actual motor speed signal representative of an actual speed of the electrical motor. The speed command generator is arranged to generate a speed command signal indicative of a desired speed of the electrical motor. The armature voltage sensor is arranged to generate a measured armature voltage signal from an electrical potential of the armature assembly.
