This reference offers insight into problems of coding control algorithms on a DSP platform. The text bridges the gap between theoretical control analysis and industrial practice. Coverage includes basic speed and position control structures as well as motion control topics like nonlinear position control, control of mechanical structures with flexible couplings, electric shaft problems, compliance and mechanical resonance problems and anti-resonant solutions. A set of Simulink® simulation files and exercises follows each chapter. Having read the book and done the exercises, the reader should acquire a reasonable ability to design and deal with the real-world speed and position controllers and trajectory generators.

Klappentext

Digital Control of Electrical Drives offers insight into electric drives and their usage in motion control environment. It provides links among electrical machine and control theory, practical hardware aspects, programming issues, and application-specific problems. The book prepares the reader to understand the key elements of motion control systems, analyze and design discrete-time speed and position controllers, set adjustable feedback parameters, and evaluate closed-loop performances. Basic engineering principles are used to derive the controller structure in an intuitive manner, so that designs are easy to comprehend, modify, and extend.

Digital Control of Electrical Drives helps the reader acquire practical skills in designing discrete-time speed and position controllers. Each chapter is followed by a set of Matlab® and Simulink® tools which help readers master the phases of design, tuning, simulation, and evaluation of discrete time controllers, and foresee the effects of control solution on the overall motion control system. Readers will also understand the present performance limits of digital motion controllers.
