Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a high-order delay element model is used to accurately compensate phase delay, then phase compensation effectiveness is improved, but processing time increases and control gain setting range narrows

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvephase delay compensation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the order parameter of the delay element model from high-order to second-order, optimizing the balance between phase compensation accuracy and processing efficiency. This parameter optimization allows the system to achieve sufficient phase compensation while reducing computational burden and expanding control gain setting range.

AI summary

A motor control device according to an embodiment includes a first subtractor, a speed controller, and a phase compensating speed observer. The first subtractor subtracts a speed reference from a speed feedback signal to obtain a speed deviation. The speed controller receives the speed deviation and outputs a first torque reference. The phase compensating speed observer receives the first torque reference and a speed of a controlled object including a motor, and outputs the speed feedback signal. The phase compensating speed observer includes a delay element model having an integral element of an order optimally satisfying a setting condition based on a degree of easiness for implementation and a degree of usefulness for phase delay compensation of the speed feedback signal to the speed reference.
