  • Patent number: 8143840
    Abstract: A device for controlling an induction motor includes a voltage/frequency controller, a pulse width modulation controller, and a converter. The voltage/frequency controller receives a controlling frequency, and outputs a controlling voltage corresponding to the controlling frequency. The pulse width modulation controller receives the controlling voltage and the controlling frequency, and generates PWM signals according to the controlling voltage and the controlling frequency. The converter receives the PWM signals, and controls the induction motor according to the PWM signals. There is a predetermined relationship between the controlling voltage and the controlling frequency stored in the voltage/frequency controller. The controlling voltage is greater than zero in response to the controlling frequency being zero, and increasing the controlling frequency increases the controlling voltage as in the predetermined relationship.

  • Patent number: 8018183
    Abstract: A speed controller used in a control loop of a motor includes a comparator, a processing device, and an arithmetic logical unit (ALU). The comparator compares a received instruction speed or a received measured speed of the motor with a predetermined speed value, outputs a first signal to the processing device when the received speed is greater than the predetermined speed value, or outputs a second signal to the processing device when the received speed is equal to or less than the predetermined speed value. The processing device receives a speed difference between the instruction speed and the measured speed. The processing device outputs a first proportional value when the first signal is received, or outputs a second proportional value when the second signal is received. The ALU outputs an instruction current to the control loop by calculating the proportional value according to a predetermined calculation rule.

  • Publication number: 20100277114
    Abstract: A speed instruction generation apparatus of a motor interpolates a first position instruction to obtain a second position instruction. The second position instruction is a second-order continuous instruction. The second-order continuous position instruction is differentiated two times to obtain a compensation speed. The speed instruction generation apparatus further generates a first speed instruction according to a difference between an actual position value of the motor and the second position instruction. The first speed instruction is added to the compensation speed to obtain a second speed instruction to control a rotation speed of the motor.

  • Publication number: 20100146341
    Abstract: A detecting system for detecting functions of a driver includes a storage unit, a control unit, and an human machine interface (HMI). The control unit samples a plurality of functions of the driver to generate a plurality of sampled values at each preset sampling time. The control unit determines if the plurality of sampled values are normal according to a plurality of preset reference ranges for the plurality of functions stored in the storage unit. When one or more of the plurality of sampled values is abnormal, the control unit generates an alarm signal, and the HMI displays the plurality of sampled values.

  • Patent number: 7728645
    Abstract: A pulse generator includes a pulse command register and a digital differential analyzer (DDA). The pulse command register includes a first register, a second register, and an adder. The first register receives and stores a pulse command from a CPU in an operating cycle. The second register receives and stores the pulse command shifted from the first register when the first register receives a second pulse command from the CPU in the operating cycle. The adder sums the pulse commands of the first register and the second register and the result is transmitted to the DDA. The DDA determines whether a pulse is to be generated after calculation according to the result from the adder of the pulse command register.
