ABSTRACT:
In a method for controlling a physical variable in an electronically commutated motor, current is supplied to the stator winding arrangement (102) of the motor in the form of current blocks. The interval (BW) between the switch-on command and switch-off command for controlling those current blocks, i.e. the length (BW) of the control signals, is influenced by a control apparatus, and the effective current value of those current blocks is influenced by setting a pulse duty factor (pwm). The length of the control signals is limited in both directions. If a control signal becomes shorter than a specified lower limit, the pulse duty factor (pwm) is decreased, so that the effective value of the current falls and the length (BW) of the current blocks is increased by the control system. If a control signal becomes longer than a specified upper limit, the pulse duty factor is increased, so that the effective value of the current rises and the length of the current blocks decreases in compensatory fashion.
