Abstract :
An integrated approach involving software/hardware strategies to DC brushless motor development is presented. These strategies are intended to allow complete optimization of motor performance over a wide range of applications. A series of tests performed on the motor confirmed the competence of the basic hardware (a saturation problem was addressed via change in lamination material from a nickel-iron alloy to a cobalt-based alloy) as an integral part of the overall hardware/software system envisaged.<>
