Description

The Mechanical to Electrical Position block computes the electrical position of rotor by using its mechanical position and mechanical offset value.

Examples

Field-Oriented Control of PMSM Using Hall Sensor

Implements the field-oriented control (FOC) technique to control the speed of a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The FOC algorithm requires rotor position feedback, which is obtained by a Hall sensor. For details about FOC, see Field-Oriented Control (FOC).

Open Example

Field-Oriented Control of PMSM Using Quadrature Encoder

Implements the field-oriented control (FOC) technique to control the speed of a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The FOC algorithm requires rotor position feedback, which is obtained by a quadrature encoder sensor. For details about FOC, see Field-Oriented Control (FOC).

Open Example

Field-Oriented Control of Induction Motor Using Speed Sensor

Implements the field-oriented control (FOC) technique to control the speed of a three-phase AC induction motor (ACIM). The FOC algorithm requires rotor speed feedback, which is obtained in this example by using a quadrature encoder sensor. For details about FOC, see Field-Oriented Control (FOC).

Open Example

Field-Weakening Control (with MTPA) of PMSM

Implements the field-oriented control (FOC) technique to control the torque and speed of a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The FOC algorithm requires rotor position feedback, which is obtained by a quadrature encoder sensor. For details about FOC, see Field-Oriented Control (FOC).

Ports

Input

θ_m — Mechanical position of rotor

scalar

The mechanical position of rotor (as output by the rotor position sensor) in either radians (0 to 2$$\pi$$), degrees (0 to 360), or per unit (0 to 1).

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Offset — Mechanical position offset

scalar

The deviation of the rotor's electrical zero from the mechanical zero position. Unit of offset is identical to the unit of the mechanical position input.

Dependencies

• To enable this port, set Specify offset via to Input port.

• Inputs must be of the same data type.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Output

θ_e — Electrical position of rotor

scalar

The electrical position of the rotor with a range that is identical to that of the mechanical position input. Data type of the electrical position is identical to that of the input.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Parameters

Number of pole pairs — Number of pole pairs available in motor

4 (default) | scalar

Number of pole pairs available in the motor.

Input mechanical angle unit — Unit of mechanical position of rotor

Per unit (default) | Radians | Degrees

Unit of the mechanical position of the rotor.

Offset input type — Method to specify offset

Input port (default) | Specify via dialog

The method you want to use to specify the mechanical position offset. Select Input port to enable and use the input port Offset. Select Specify via dialog to provide the offset value using the dialog box.

Mechanical offset — Value of mechanical position offset

0 (default) | scalar

The unit of the offset is identical to that of the unit of the mechanical position input.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set Specify offset via to Specify via dialog.

Input data type — Data type of input ports

single (default) | double | fixed point

The data type that you want to use for the input ports.

Note

The block runs faster, if you select either fixdt(1,16,0) or fixdt(1,16,2^0,0) input data type and provide fixed point values to the input ports.
