Improved performance of a brushless DC motor using hardware in the loop control technique

Abstract

The evolution and the complexity of robot systems are widely increasing nowadays, this complexity is especially shown in their long simulation time. So, an increasing interest is devoted to the study of the Brushless DC Motor which represents the most adequate actuator for robot systems. In fact, the Brushless DC Motor has achieved a big breakthrough thanks to its robustness, rapidity, cleanliness, accuracy and high efficiency in many industrial applications. To guarantee the efficiency of the device under test with the whole automation system, a controller design is presented in this paper. Precision and simulation rapidity represent big challenges for power systems such as Brushless DC motor. The design is created using DSP builder blocks through simulink matlab environment integrated with FPGA board. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of design control for Brushless DC Motor.
