  • Patent number: 8125178
    Abstract: A drive and a method, including an electric motor, which is supplied by a rectifier, the rectifier including a time-discrete closed-loop control structure, which regulates the stator current of the electric motor by setting the voltage applied at the motor, the current of the motor being acquired in time-discrete fashion, the closed-loop control structure including a closed-loop controller whose actual value is a first current component of the current, the setpoint input of the closed-loop controller being coupled with at least one upstream setpoint limiter.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110068722
    Abstract: An open-loop or closed-loop control method for a converter which supplies an electric motor, wherein a current space vector is acquired as motor current, and the motor voltage, in particular a voltage space vector, is set, an induced voltage space vector UI is determined, which is forwarded to an integration element, a flux space vector being generated, whose angular position is perpendicular to the voltage space vector, the amount of the flux space vector corresponding to a predefined nominal value, the difference of the integration result and the flux space vector thus produced being used as feedback in the integration element.

  • Publication number: 20090322263
    Abstract: A drive, including an electric motor, which is supplied by a rectifier, the rectifier including a time-discrete closed-loop control structure, which regulates the stator current of the electric motor by setting the voltage applied at the motor, the current of the motor being acquired in time-discrete fashion, the closed-loop control structure including a first closed-loop controller whose setpoint is the output value of a first non-linear transfer member, and whose actual value is the output value of a second non-linear transfer member, the input value of the first non-linear transfer member being the setpoint of a first current component of the current, the input value of the second non-linear transfer member being the actual value of a first current component of the current.
