Motor Control

This session provides insight into the operation of electric motor drive systems. Topics include electric motor operation and construction, motor control strategies, feedback sensors and circuits, power and isolation, and challenges of designing highly efficient motor control systems. A new high performance servo control FMC board will be introduced in the presentation, which provides an efficient motor control solution for different types of electric motors, addresses power and isolation challenges, and provides accurate measurement of motor feedback signals and increased control flexibility due to FPGA interfacing capabilities. The motor control hardware platform will be used to demonstrate rapid prototyping of motor control algorithms using Xilinx base platforms and the MathWorks development and simulation tools.
