The brushless DC motor control system often adopts the classic PID control, the advantages of which are as follows: simple to control, easy to adjust the parameter and a certain degree of control precision. But it relies on accurate mathematical model. The permanent magnet brushless DC motor control system is a multi-variable and nonlinear. As to the deficiencies of the classic PID control method, this thesis proposes a method called artificial neural network PID adaptive control method, which is based on algebraic algorithm and overcomes the shortcomings such as the slow convergence of BP algorithm, easy to trap in local minimum, and etc.
