Field oriented motion control of a 3-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor

The recent extensive application of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) in industry has been stimulated by the worldwide energy-saving mission. In this study, the assessment of the dynamic performance of a traditional cascaded PI field oriented motion control of a PMSM drive system is presented in both simulation and a real time implementation of the control strategy. The tuning of the cascaded position, velocity, and current controllers was carried out experimentally and the results demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of the used control scheme for velocity and position loops. Finally, the motion command tracking performance of the cascaded PI field oriented control algorithm of SMPM system was found satisfactory.
