Abstract
A control system is provided for a multiphase motor having a plurality of stator phase components, each stator phase component comprising a phase winding formed on a core element, and a permanent magnet rotor. A plurality of motor control schemes are stored in memory. Subject to user or system selection, one of the motor control schemes is accessed from the memory by a controller for implementation. The controller generates control signals that are applied to energization circuitry for supplying current to the phase windings with a particular current waveform profile in accordance with the selected motor control scheme. The controller has an input terminal for receiving a user initiated torque command signal representing a desired motor torque. Each motor control scheme provides motor driving current that corresponds to torque command signals received at the controller input terminal.
