Abstract: In a method for determining the rotor position of a synchronous motor, a plurality of current vectors having different directions is applied to the synchronous motor. Absolute values of required ones of the current vectors are determined to obtain a defined excursion of the rotor. Inverse values of the determined current vectors are then digitally filtered using several of the inverse values to determine Fourier coefficients of the first harmonic of the inverse values. The rotor position of the synchronous motor can then accurately be computed with the determined Fourier coefficients.

Abstract: Damping of mechanical oscillation in a shaft that is provided by feedback wherein the output signals of multiple feedback devices are negatively coupled and added to a desired speed signal of a motor speed controller of the driving motor is disclosed. At least one sensor and/or measuring system can be provided for measuring an actual position value. The actual speed of the shaft can be determined by differentiation from the shaft position value measurements or by integration from shaft acceleration measurements. The measured or actual speed of the shaft can be supplied as an input signal to each feedback element. Each feedback element is specifically tuned to an oscillation frequency range of the shaft that is to be damped. The invention provides an easy and cost-effective way of damping mechanical oscillations that have limited frequency ranges.

Abstract: According to the invention, the controller cascades are suitably divided up and the oscillation damped only in the load rotational-speed controller. Here, a motor rotational-speed setpoint value (z) of a quickly regulated motor rotational-speed controller (9) and not the motor torque, is selected as the connection point for a load acceleration (i). In order to achieve a shorter transient response time, according the invention the difference between a setpoint rotational speed (x) and load rotational speed (y) is connected to the motor rotational-speed setpoint value (z). The solution in principle according to the invention which is presented has, in contrast to other known methods, the advantage that the actuation of the corresponding controllers is comparatively simple with very good control results.

Abstract: A method of maximizing the power or torque output of a synchronous motor with reluctance effect is disclosed. Bases on torque and voltage set points, in the regulation of the synchronous motor, an optimal torque- and field producing current is generated. The method can further generate an optimal voltage which can maximize the power output of a synchronous motor since changes of inductances generated by the current itself can be accounted for.

Abstract: The invention makes it possible to execute the pre-control and the fine interpolation in the drive (A) in the fast drive clock (tDR) with a slower path pre-setting in the clock (tNC) of the NC. For this purpose, in each NC clock (tNC) a setpoint speed value (nNC*) and the P gain (kP) of the NC position controller (L_NC) and the desired axle speed (nNC) and the average axle speed (nNCMW) during the last NC position controller clock are transferred from the NC to the drive. From this information, polynomial segments of the third degree are in each case generated on the drive side, valid for the duration of an NC position controller clock (tNC). They are constructed in such a way that the speed at the polynomial transitions is constant. A variable component of the position polynomial is determined as the fine position component xF, with which the setpoint position values are finely interpolated in the drive.

Abstract: Method for the determination for an actual speed of a movable displacement element wherein an acceleration sensor is used to record an acceleration (a), and a position sensor is used to record a measured position of a displacement element. A model speed (vM) and a measured speed (v1) are determined by integration and differentiation, respectively. The model speed (vM) is used to determine an actual speed (v). The model speed (vM) and the measured speed (v1) are subtracted from one another. The difference is supplied to a controller (13) having an integral component, whose output signal is added to the acceleration (a).

Abstract: A position control branch for a hydraulic drive is prescribed a desired position. The hydraulic drive is moved to an actual position via the position control branch. It is determined whether the hydraulic drive has come to a standstill. On detection of a standstill, a desired direction of movement is determined with the aid of the actual position and the desired position. A force value dependent on the desired direction of movement is then applied to the hydraulic drive via a force precontroller connected in parallel with the position control branch.
