New Motor Control Lab Course Introduced
Study |
A new practical course, Motor Control with Real-Time Microcontrollers, has been introduced, offering students hands-on experience in the implementation of motor control algorithms on real-time embedded platforms. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical work on modern control hardware and gives students direct insight into embedded motor drive applications.
The course is supported by Texas Instruments, which sponsors the practical setup with PMSMs, C2000™ microcontrollers and GaN-based inverter platforms. This support enables students to work with advanced industrial-grade hardware and gain valuable experience in real-time control implementation for modern electric drive systems.
This lab course consists of a series of microcontroller-based experiments with the following content being covered:
- Implementation of Open-Loop Control for a PMSM in an Embedded Software Development Environment (e.g. TI CCStudio),
- Implementation of Field-Oriented Control for a PMSM in an Embedded Development Environment,
- Implementation of Open-Loop Control for a PMSM in a Model-Based Design Environment (e.g. PLECS),
- Implementation of Field-Oriented Control for a PMSM in a Model-Based Design Environment,
- Implementation of Offline Parameter Identification for a PMSM in a Model-Based Design Environment.
