Motor Control Algorithms

The field of motor control has undergone rapid expansion due mainly to the advantages of semiconductors in both power and signal electronics and the processing capability of micro-electronic microprocessors and DSPs. These technological improvements have enabled the development of really effective drive control with ever lower power dissipation hardware and ever more accurate control structures. The electrical drive controls has become more accurate in the sense that not only are the DC current and voltage controlled but also the three phase currents and voltages are managed by combined use of MCU and software algorithms.
