  • Patent number: 5334924
    Abstract: Speed control of an induction motor is effected in digital fashion through use of a computer but without complex processing, and with a computer that need not be large in scale. This is accomplished by processing at least a speed command signal, actual speed signal and torque signal in analog fashion, enabling simplification of an induction motor speed control digital processing section which performs all other control operations in a digital manner. In a speed control network having a closed loop, a frequency-to-voltage converter, adder-subtractor, proportional integrator, polarity determining circuit absolute value circuit and voltage-to-frequency converter are constructed of circuitry operable on the basis of analog values, with all other circuits being constructed of circuitry operable on the basis of digital values.

  • Patent number: 5281903
    Abstract: A drive control method for a variable reluctance type motor capable of improving the motor efficiency by preventing generation of a disturbance torque. In function generators (8A to 8C) of a controller for embodying the method, the motor rotation direction and the motor driving mode are determined based on the generation order of A- and B-phase feedback pulses from a pulse coder (7) and the sign of a torque command (Tc) from a speed loop compensation circuit (1), and, on the basis of the determination results, either one of four excitation patterns is selected. Function signal values corresponding to actual motor electrical angles (.theta.) are generated from the function generators in accordance with the selected excitation pattern, and excitation of individual phases of the motor (6) is controlled by power amplifiers (4A to 4C) which respond to voltage commands derived based on these function signal values.
