ABSTRACT:
A servomechanism regeneratively controls motion by a brushless coreless axial-field motor, exerting torque thru its permanent-magnet disk rotor, resulting from synchronized polyphase sinusoidal stator currents, controlled by a switching controller responsive to input commands and to Hall-effect transducer signals that vary sinusoidally with rotor angle and respectively correspond to stator phases. The controller operates with a dc power source and sink. Its signal processors derive from the transducer signals instantaneous magnitudes and polarities thereof and continuous lagless speed feedback. The instantaneous magnitudes are multiplied by a torque amplitude signal to provide respective synchronized amplitude control signals. Current transformers having primary windings in series with power switching transistors provide current feedback pulses with amplitude proportional to instaneous current in associated stator windings. Pulse control means initiate bi-phase pulses having restricted duty-cycle, and dictate pulse duration by comparing each current feedback pulse with the associated synchronized amplitude control signal. Switching logic responsive to the bi-phase pulses, to forward and reverse drive and brake commands, and to said polarities, accordingly controls selection and duty-cycle of said power switching transistors which, cooperative with free-wheeling diodes and inductors, effect controlled alternating stator currents. Various signal interface means process the input commands with feedback derived from the transducer signals, such as speed, direction of rotation, and interpolated digital position, to provide said torque amplitude signal, and variously, said drive and brake commands; so the motor and controller constitute a complete servomechanism, that provides precise speed and position control with regenerative reversing and braking, ultra-high efficiency, and fast dynamic response.
