Abstract
A digitally controlled motor drive system using a pulse width modulated motor drive receives a desired motor velocity signal and an actual motor velocity signal and it provides a corresponding velocity error signal. The velocity error signal is adjusted in response to a change in the value of a power voltage supplied to the motor. The velocity error signal may be compensated for back electromotive force and/or for static friction in the motor, if desired. The system is simple, reliable and cost effective.
