Method for estimating angular errors of coders in a looped
system including a rotating
actuator, an angle coder producing a position measurements, and a calculation device controlling the
actuator, said device receiving a
setpoint signal and the position measurements, for looping, and calculating in a corrector a
control signal. In a
test phase, a specific corrector Cω<sub2>rj< / sub2>(q) is synthesised for a constant rotation speed ωrj, the corrector having zero
gain at the corresponding frequency and
harmonics, resulting in opening the loop, a matrix relation is established between position measurements and a function of parameters characterizing coder errors and torque ripples, the
test phase repeats with different rotation speeds, the matrix relations are concatenated producing an identifiable global matrix relation, the parameters are estimated by resolution of the global matrix relation.
