  • Publication number: 20060043923
    Abstract: A motor controller of the sort having both a transformation function for transforming three-phase feedback information into two components, and then changing an error signal for each of the two components back into three-phase correction numbers is provided with an ARCTAN correction function. The ARCTAN correction function takes in the time derivative of the changing angular position of the motor rotor, and creates a correction factor that is supplied back to the transformation function for changing the two error signals back into three. By supplying this correction ARCTAN function, the control eliminates a disturbance that may have occurred in the prior art at higher frequencies wherein both of the control loops for the two components needed to come into play to correct an error on either of the two loops.
