  • Patent number: 9287817
    Abstract: A control system may be switched between a Pseudo-Derivative Feedforward (PDFF) control manner and a Proportional Integral (PI) control manner. The control system includes a first operational element, a second operational element, a feedback proportion controller, an integrator, and a feedforward proportion controller. The first operational element and the second operational element are used to perform calculation of addition or subtraction on an input signal, a feedback signal, and a feedforward signal. The integrator generates an integral signal. The feedback proportion controller generates a feedback proportion signal according to a first feedback gain or a second feedback gain. The feedforward proportion controller generates a feedforward proportion signal according to a first feedforward gain or a second feedforward gain.

  • Patent number: 8525465
    Abstract: A feedback switching device and a method allow a drive control loop for a servo motor to actively switch the feedback mode in accordance with the rotating speed of the servo motor. When the servo motor is under a high speed operation, a sensorless position estimation feedback technology is used as the feedback mode; on the other hand, when the servo motor is under a low speed operation, the switching mode is automatically switched to a position sensing feedback technology. Therefore, the development needs for multi-function, high performance and low cost in the field of the servo motor control are met, and the conventional problem is solved that, when being applied to a servo driving system having a wide speed range, the single use of the position sensing feedback technology or the sensorless position estimation feedback technology fails to satisfy the application for a wide speed range.

  • Patent number: 8203295
    Abstract: A method for controlling starting of a motor is described, which is mainly applicable to estimate a possible initial position of a rotor of a motor by detecting a rotor rotation signal of the motor, and find out a most possible initial position of the rotor after making statistics. In the method for controlling the starting of the motor, a starting angle position region of the motor is calculated simply by using the rotor rotation signal of the motor, without additionally arranging a Hall sensor, so as to save a cost of a Hall device and an assembling cost. Furthermore, accuracy for estimating the starting position region can be increased according to an accuracy specification of products, thereby achieving a high flexibility.
