Abstract

Technical solutions are described for current sensor fault mitigation for systems with permanent magnet DC drives. An example power steering system includes a brush motor, and a motor control system that generates an amount of torque using the brush motor, the amount of torque corresponding to a torque command. The motor control system includes a current sensor fault detector that detects a current sensor fault associated with a current sensor used to measure a current across the brush motor. The motor control system further includes a velocity observer that computes an estimated motor velocity in response to the current sensor fault. The motor control system further includes a feed forward controller that generates a current command for generating the amount of torque using the brush motor, the current command generated using the estimated motor velocity. The described technical solution solves the technical problem of current sensor fault mitigation of a EPS system based on PMDC drive.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to steering systems, particularly Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems, and more particularly to fault mitigation techniques for motor control in the event of loss of current sensors in EPS driven using permanent magnet DC. Background technique [0002] Permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motors are widely used in motion control applications including EPS systems. Torque control of a PMDC motor drive is performed by current regulation using measured current feedback (through a current measurement circuit). Feedback current control performed in this manner provides adjustable current (and thus adjustable torque) control bandwidth characteristics, disturbance rejection, and less sensitivity to modeling uncertainties. Another advantage of using a PMDC motor drive with feedback control operation is that no position or speed measurement is required for control. It should be noted, however, that motor speed is an important signal to...
