Abstract
Systems and apparatus relating to motor control (e.g., for thermal transfer printing) include, according to at least one implementation, a motor control system including: a position controller to receive a demanded position (P) input for controlling a motor; a torque controller coupled with the position controller, the torque controller to receive a torque bias (T) input for controlling the motor; and a feedback circuit coupled with the torque controller and the position controller; wherein the feedback circuit is configured and arranged to combine an output from the position controller, the output being generated based on the demanded position (P) input, with the torque bias (T) input to generate a torque demand (T) input to the torque controller.
