Abstract
A system for controlling operation of a brushless DC motor is provided. The system includes a memory, driving profile and motor controllers, and an inverter. The memory stores: a scaling factor indicative of how much to increase an operating parameter of a base driving profile; and the base driving profile indicative of speed over time of a drive cycle of the brushless DC motor. The driving profile controller generates a motor driving profile, indicating an operating parameter for driving the brushless DC motor, where the operating parameter is based on (i) the scaling factor, and (ii) the base driving profile. The controller generates a control signal based on the operating parameter of the motor driving profile. The inverter: receives a direct current from a DC source; responsively to the control signal, converts the direct current to an alternating current; and drives the brushless DC motor via the alternating current.
