A control system may be switched between a Pseudo-Derivative Feedforward (PDFF) control manner and a Proportional Integral (PI) control manner. The control system includes a first operational element, a second operational element, a feedback proportion controller, an integrator, and a feedforward proportion controller. The first operational element and the second operational element are used to perform calculation of addition or subtraction on an input signal, a feedback signal, and a feedforward signal. The integrator generates an integral signal. The feedback proportion controller generates a feedback proportion signal according to a first feedback gain or a second feedback gain. The feedforward proportion controller generates a feedforward proportion signal according to a first feedforward gain or a second feedforward gain. The control system may be switched among the different control manners through selection among the first feedback gain, the second feedback gain, the first feedforward gain, and the second feedforward gain.

Control system

A feedback switching device and a method allow a drive control loop for a servo motor to actively switch the feedback mode in accordance with the rotating speed of the servo motor. When the servo motor is under a high speed operation, a sensorless position estimation feedback technology is used as the feedback mode; on the other hand, when the servo motor is under a low speed operation, the switching mode is automatically switched to a position sensing feedback technology. Therefore, the development needs for multi-function, high performance and low cost in the field of the servo motor control are met, and the conventional problem is solved that, when being applied to a servo driving system having a wide speed range, the single use of the position sensing feedback technology or the sensorless position estimation feedback technology fails to satisfy the application for a wide speed range.

Feedback switching device and method for driving of servo motor

A method for controlling starting of a motor is described, which is mainly applicable to estimate a possible initial position of a rotor of a motor by detecting a rotor rotation signal of the motor, and find out a most possible initial position of the rotor after making statistics. In the method for controlling the starting of the motor, a starting angle position region of the motor is calculated simply by using the rotor rotation signal of the motor, without additionally arranging a Hall sensor, so as to save a cost of a Hall device and an assembling cost. Furthermore, accuracy for estimating the starting position region can be increased according to an accuracy specification of products, thereby achieving a high flexibility.
