motor control

I was looking at the FAZ-NA line of circuit breakers by Eaton, and I was wondering if the capability of these to provide short-circuit interruption and thermal overcurrent protection removes the need of an overload relay. It seemed strange that these branch protectors were so much cheaper than...

Hi there, I am making a servo using a wiper motor, Arduino and potentiometer. I need a motor driver the one in the tutorial I am following uses a IBT-4 Motor Driver, unfortunately it will take two months to be delivered to me. Are there any alternatives for this which will do the same function...

The submersible motor in my home works when it takes 13A on starting using a starter board. But nowadays on starting it takes 15A when turned ON and no water comes from ground. So how do I reduce the motor current from 15A to 13A. If you need some data related to starter I could provide that too.

Good afternoon, I have developed a Vector Control for a PMSM motor in Simulink using Simscape Electrical but my motor is not spinning. I have tried applying various speed values but nothing happens. I am applying a step signal from 0 to 300 but the motor speed still doesn't move. My error...

Hi everyone, I am trying to develop an FOC algorithm (see screenshots attached) using the Motor Control Blockset in Simulink but I am getting the following errors (see screenshot attached). I don't know waht I am doing wrong since I fed my d and q currents to my Discrete PI controllers and fed...

Hi everyone, I am trying to implement FOC algorithm in Simulink using the Motor Control Blockset. I want to simulate the iPower Gimbal Motor GBM2804H-100T with the Surface mount PMSM block. However, I don't understand what the LdTrq input is or how to set it up. SInce it is a motor I do not...

Hi everyone, I am using a Discrete PI controller for an FOC algorithm I am developing in Simulink using the Motor Control Blockset. I would like to use a Ki gain if 2. At the input of the block, I have an input labelled Ki*Ts. If I use my gain with a sampling period of, let's say 1ms, should...

Hi everyone, I am failrly recent to MATLAB and SIMULINK. I am trying to use to Motor Control blockset in Simulink to implement an FOC algorithm. I am using the MTPA Reference block for Simulink to calculate the Id and Iq currents for me but there are parameters in the block I don't understand...

I am currently programming an Elmo Gold Solo Trombone drive as a slave (for the position control of a servo motor) for a host ECU (Altran MUXlab4), communicating between the host and drive on a CANopen protocol. Despite having read all the available literature am a little unclear on how to do...

Hi everyone, Could someone please let me know if ST MC Workbench implements SVPWM ? I have been looking at all features in the workbench but I haven't found any settings which allow tuning of the PWM algorithm. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I am trying to a project based on FOC and BLDC motor using Simulink. I have been looking at material explaining how to use FOC with Simulink but from what I have seen there is an automatic PID autotuner. So is there really anything that can be improved from FOC in MATLAB ? Thanks...

Hi everyone, I am a final year student who is making a dissertation on Field-Oriented Control (FOC) with a BLDC motor. I am having the issue that with the virus outbreak I have had to modify a lot how to carry out my dissertation. As a result, I do not know what to write about anymore. I would...

Hi everyone, I have recently bought an STM32 Nucleo-64 G474RE. I want to use this MCU for Field-Oriented Control (FOC or Vector Control) with a BLDC motor. I have seen there are many libraries available and there is the ST Motor Control Workbench tool available. But I am confused as to which...

Hi, I know this is a simple one for most of you but I’m quite new to this so please be gentle. I have an old pallet wrapper that I would like to automate. I still want to be able to use it in it’s current form so was going to start with a “manual/ auto” selector switch after the turntable has...
