  • Patent number: 10558176
    Abstract: A control system comprising a feedback controller 1 for determining an operation amount u in a control-implemented system based on a command value r*, a detection value y of the control-implemented system and phase information ? for the control-implemented system, wherein the feedback controller 1 has a periodic disturbance suppression controller 4 for outputting a periodic disturbance compensation signal rpd* based on the detection value y and the phase information ?; and a resonance/disturbance suppression controller 3 for calculating the operation amount u based on the detection value y and a corrected command value r obtained by adding the periodic disturbance compensation signal rpd* to the command value r*. The periodic disturbance suppression controller 4 uses a generalized periodic disturbance observer. In the control system, resonance, non-periodic disturbances and periodic disturbances are all suppressed in order to raise the system control performance.

    Abstract: A control system comprising a feedback controller 1 for determining an operation amount u in a control-implemented system based on a command value r*, a detection value y of the control-implemented system and phase information ? for die control-implemented system, wherein the feedback controller 1 has a periodic disturbance suppression controller 4 for outputting a periodic disturbance compensation signal rpd* based on the detection value y mid the phase information ?; and a resonance/disturbance suppression controller 3 for calculating the operation amount u based on the detection value y and a corrected command value r obtained by adding the periodic disturbance compensation signal rpd* to the command value r*. The periodic disturbance suppression controller 4 uses a generalized periodic disturbance observer.

  • Patent number: 5155797
    Abstract: A motor speed control system takes one approach to establish dummy load models having characteristics equivalent to an electric motor to be controlled. One of the dummy load models is established for feedback controlling the electric motor on the basis of the speed of the dummy model. The dummy model is divided into first and second models. The first model is designed to have equivalent characteristics to output a first motor speed representative data. The current to supply to the first model is so adjusted as to reduce a difference between the motor speed representative data and a desired motor speed data to zero. A frequency signal is added to the current applied to the first model and supplied to the electric motor to drive the latter. The second model receives the frequency signal to output a frequency signal dependent second motor speed representative value.

  • Patent number: 4967135
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for vector control of an induction motor. A slip frequency is calculated based on a desired motor torque, a desired motor flux and a motor secondary time constant. An actual value for induction motor angular velocity is estimated as a function of primary current and voltage applied to drive the induction motor. The calculated slip frequency is added to the estimated angular velocity to calculate an angular frequency. The calculated angular frequency is used along with the desired motor torque and the desired motor flux to vary the primary current and voltage so as to drive the induction motor with no .beta.-axis secondary flux.

  • Patent number: 4862343
    Abstract: An induction motor vectro control apparatus calculates a slip factor using a secondary time constant. A reference signal is added as noise to the excitation current command signal. The secondary time constant is brought closer to its actual value by modifying the secondary time constant in a direction zeroing the correlation between the motor speed feedback signal and the reference signal.
