Abstract
A system for controlling a motor for use in a ventilation system may include a motor, a voltage adjustment system, a user interface, and a motor controller. The voltage adjustment system may be configured to adjust a voltage applied to the motor. The user interface may be configured to receive patient settings input from a user and communicate target ventilation parameters to the motor controller. The motor controller may include a calculation engine configured to calculate motor performance parameters for achieving the target ventilation parameters, and based at least on the calculated motor performance parameters, perform a voltage adjustment analysis for controlling the voltage adjustment system. The motor controller may further include a voltage adjuster controller configured to activate the voltage adjustment system based on a first result of the voltage adjustment analysis and to not activate the voltage adjustment system based on a second result of the voltage adjustment analysis.
