MOTOR DRIVE SYSTEM AND MOTOR DRIVE METHOD

A motor drive system includes a rectifier circuit, a controller, a modulator circuit and a direct current (DC) motor. The rectifier circuit is configured to convert an alternating current (AC) voltage to a DC voltage. The controller is configured to output a control signal. The modulator circuit includes a pulse generation module, a feedback determination module, a pulse modulation module and a driving module, and is configured to generate a modulated DC driving signal based on the DC voltage and the control signal generated by the rectifier circuit and the controller. The DC motor is configured to operate in accordance with the modulated DC driving signal generated by the modulator circuit.

Back-drive of motor based on position data

Techniques for controlling operations of a motor based on position errors are described. In an example, a user device sends an amount of electrical current to the motor to cause the motor to move. The user device also determines the motor is in position for a time interval despite the amount of electrical current. Based at least one the time interval and the amount of electrical current, the user device determines a position difference associated with a target position and a measured position of the motor during the time interval, and reduces the amount of electrical current based at least in part on the time interval.

System of driving and controlling motor

A system of driving and controlling a motor is provided. 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. When a motor driver drives the motor to stably rotate, the motor driver decodes each of the pulse waves having the first preset frequency into a first message and decodes each of the pulse waves having the second preset frequency into a second message. 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.

Current limiting protection system and method of motor pre-driver

A current limit protecting system and method of a motor pre-driver are provided. A current limiting circuit detects a current of a resistor that is connected to a motor, and then compares the current of the resistor with a current threshold to output a current comparing signal. When a controller circuit determines that the current of the resistor is larger than the current threshold according to the current comparing signal, and a working period of a first signal of a first node or a working period of a second signal of a second node of the motor reaches a preset value, a first high-side switch and a second high-side switch are turned off, and a first low-side switch and a second low-side switch are alternately turned on. As a result, a temperature of the motor generally reduces.

A motor control system is provided for field-oriented control of an electric motor for driving a vehicle. The motor control system includes a current setpoint creator, which is designed to receive a torque setpoint as an input signal and to output a torque-creating current setpoint and at least one field-creating current setpoint as output signals in order to control the electric motor in a field-oriented manner. An exceptional situation detection device detects a present torque setpoint, calculates a change based on the present torque setpoint and an earlier torque setpoint, and detects an exceptional situation if the magnitude of the change exceeds a specified threshold value. The motor control system is designed to adapt the torque-creating current setpoint based on the present torque setpoint when the exceptional situation is detected, thereby bypassing the current setpoint creator.
