Robot technology has become an integral part of the automotive industry in several tasks such as material handling, welding, painting, and part assembly. Therefore, the knowledge and skills to control the electric motors in these manipulators are essential for undergraduate electrical engineering students. Currently, the digital signal processor (DSP) is the core chip in industrial motor-control drives; however, the implementation of DSP control algorithms can be quite challenging for an experienced programmer, even more so for the novice. Considerable research has been done on this topic, although authors usually focus on DSP-based motor drives using popular control techniques such as field-oriented control (FOC). Although highly efficient, this approach is usually reserved for postgraduate education due to its complex structure and functionality. In this paper, the authors present a modular servodrive design on a low-cost, general-purpose microcontroller using the direct torque control (DTC) method, an alternative known for greater simplicity and torque response, compared with FOC. The system design was based on Micropython language allowing the software structure to be more manageable and the code to be more understandable. This design will be useful to undergraduates and researchers with interests in motor control design.

<p><span>This work presents a novel switching technique for five leg inverter in dual motor control. As the technology advances in industry, requirements in reducing the cost plays an important role with reliable product design. In conventional method, the six legs are used in 2- three phase Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) to control 2 motors. This proposed technique will give the improved performance of speed control for dual motor control using Five Leg Inverter (FLI). New proposed method suggests to use 5-inverter legs instead of 6-inverter legs to control 2 induction motors. New Switching technique proposed in FLI system is designed in effective way that improved performance and Total Harmonic Distortion of ~23% achieved. The load sharing on common leg is called Common Mode (CM) of operation. In this new method, closed loop control designed by using space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) and Direct Torque Control (DTC) in FLI Technology. With this new method smooth speed regulation is achieved when load torque is changed. THD% for CM-FLI is reduced when compared with convetional FLI technique. The new Switching technique is controlled in effective way that the common leg is not overloaded and able to drive both the induction motors independently at required speeds. Proposed switching technique verified at different operating speeds with No load and rated torque. Simulation results computed using MATLAB/SIMULINK Software. </span></p>

Electrical motors are indispensable machines in the industry, thus it is necessary to ensure that engineering students can develop speed and torque controllers, in a fast and efficient manner. One of the most commonly used motor control strategies is Field Oriented Control; however it’s implementation requieres highly-intensive math processing and a fast processor with robust hardware resources. Several related works have been published, but they are hard to replicate and use due to the aforementioned problems. In this article, the author presents a torque and speed controller for industrial servomotors by means of Direct Torque Control which is known for its speed and ease of implementation compared to Field Oriented Control. In addition, the MicroPython programming language is used on the new and novel ESP32 microcontroller, which allows greater design simplicity. Results were validated using simulations and a physical implementation, thus achieving adequate motor funcionality. This work will provide students and researchers interested in industrial motor control, a fast and effective implementation tool.

This is the first comprehensive, coherent, and up-to-date book devoted solely to the control of permanent magnet synchronous (PMS) motors, as the fastest growing AC motor. It covers a deep and detailed presentation of major PMS motor modeling and control methods. The readers can find rich materials on the fundamentals of PMS motor control in addition to new motor control methods, which have mainly been developed in the last two decades, including recent advancements in the field in a systematic manner. These include extensive modeling of PMS motors and a full range of vector control and direct torque control schemes, in addition to predictive control, deadbeat control, and combined control methods. All major sensorless control and parameter estimation methods are also studied. The book covers about 10 machine models in various reference frames and 70 control and estimation schemes with sufficient analytical and implementation details including about 200 original figures. A great emphasis is placed on energy-saving control schemes. PMS motor performances under different control systems are presented by providing simulation and experimental results. The past, present, and future of the PMS motor market are also discussed. Each chapter concludes with end-chapter problems and focussed bibliographies. It is an essential source for anyone working on PMS motors in academic and industry sectors. The book can be used as a textbook with the first four chapters for a primary graduate course and the final three chapters for an advanced course. It is also a crucial reading for researchers, design engineers, and experts in the field.

Direct Torque Control (DTC) has an important role in current motor control. This paper focus on its torque ripple of the reference vector made, summarize a 5 levels structure and novel strategy. This strategy can generate one 5-level, sectors subdivision’s vector table and select the best vector to obtain the best effect. On this basis, combined with adapted genetic algorithm and calculate optimal parameters for the speed controller. In the end, give an example of induction motor. The results show that: the conclusion is correct, the control structure is simple, clear and perform significantly. It means that the strategy is feasibility and correct.
