A motor system includes a driving circuit, a motor device and a control circuit. The driving circuit outputs a driving current according to multiple control signals. The motor device drives a rotor unit to rotate according to the driving current, and includes a first sensor and a second sensor to sense the polarity of the rotor unit in different directions to generate polarity data.

A main controller adjusts frequencies of all or some of pulse waves of an initial pulse width modulation signal to output a pulse width modulation signal according to instruction information. The adjusted frequency of each of the pulse waves is equal to a first preset frequency or a second preset frequency.

The motor driver arranges and combines all of the first messages and the second messages that are decoded from the pulse waves to obtain the instruction information. The motor driver executes an operation instructed by the instruction information.

The invention relates to a method for controlling a three-phase inverter (3) using a 120° control arrangement associated with a PWM-type control, the inverter (3) being driven by a controller and configured to power a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (5) of a device on board an aircraft. The motor (5) comprises a stator and a rotor that can be rotated relative to the stator when the motor (5) is powered.

The expected increment is a judgment condition to determine whether the open winding system uses one of the two inverters to maintain the normal operation of the open winding system, or the first inverter is clamped and the second inverter generates the remaining increment.
