Patent number: 9843280Abstract: A motor control system is provided for field-oriented control of an electric motor for driving a vehicle. The motor control system includes a current setpoint creator, which is designed to receive a torque setpoint as an input signal and to output a torque-creating current setpoint and at least one field-creating current setpoint as output signals in order to control the electric motor in a field-oriented manner. An exceptional situation detection device detects a present torque setpoint, calculates a change based on the present torque setpoint and an earlier torque setpoint, and detects an exceptional situation if the magnitude of the change exceeds a specified threshold value. The motor control system is designed to adapt the torque-creating current setpoint based on the present torque setpoint when the exceptional situation is detected, thereby bypassing the current setpoint creator.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2013Date of Patent: December 12, 2017Assignee: CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE GMBHInventor: Thomas Baumann
