Hall-effect based linear motor controller
Owner:ALLEGRO MICROSYSTEMS INC
Hall-effect based linear motor controller
A linear motion control device for use in a linear control system is presented. The linear motion control device includes a coil driver to drive a coil that, when driven, effects a linear movement by a motion device having a magnet. The linear motion control device also includes a magnetic field sensor to detect a magnetic field associated with the linear movement and an interface to connect an output of the magnetic field sensor and an input of the coil driver to an external controller. The interface includes a feedback loop to relate the magnetic field sensor output signal to the coil driver input.

Versatile control of a linear synchronous motor propulsion system
Control of Linear Synchronous Motors involves a number of low level issues of motor control—such as sensing precise position, controlling current in stator windings, and obeying commands from high level controllers—and high level vehicle control—such as stopping and starting, switching and merging, limiting speed and acceleration, synchronizing relative motion, preventing collisions and accidents, and dealing with failures. In most cases there is a master controller that directs vehicles based on simple commands but in other cases it is desirable to allow an external agent to provide more detailed control—such as synchronizing motion between a vehicle and a robot or allowing human operator control. This patent describes a versatile control scheme that allows both simplified high level control and, when or where necessary, control by an external agent. The result is a transport system and method that provides efficient and precise movement of vehicles on a guideway.

One-phase open-circuit fault-tolerant direct thrust control method for five-phase permanent magnet linear motor
InactiveCN108306571AIncreased complexitySave memory resourcesElectric motor controlVector control systemsPhase currentsModulation function
The invention discloses a one-phase open-circuit fault-tolerant direct thrust control method for a five-phase permanent magnet linear motor. Firstly, a Clark transform matrix and an inverse matrix thereof are derived based on fault-tolerant phase current. On the above basis, a stator flux linkage on alpha-beta is derived, a stator virtual flux linkage is defined according to the requirements of acircular stator flux linkage trajectory, and thus the voltage compensation on alpha-beta is derived. The stator actual voltage on the alpha-beta is derived by a modulation function of a voltage sourceinverter, and voltage is combined with voltage compensation and stator current, and a stator virtual flux linkage and thrust are observed by a stator flux observer and a thrust observer. Then statorvirtual target votlage is calculated according to given thrust, a given stator flux linkage amplitude and the observed stator virtual flux linkage and thrust. Finally, the stator actual voltage is calculated by the voltage and the voltage compensation, and the motor is controlled by the voltage by the voltage source inverter. According to the method, a thrust fluctuation caused by a motor failureis suppressed, and more importantly, the dynamic performance and steady state performance are consistent with that in a normal condition.
