For Velocity control, the performance of the SpinTAC controller was compared to a PI controller. Both controllers used the FAST software observer.
Each controller was tuned using the same method. For the Estun motor these controllers were tuned experimentally by injecting 25% rated torque (45 oz-in) disturbances while running the motor at 100% rated speed (3000 rpm). This resulted in the following gains:
The inertia used by the SpinTAC speed controller was estimated with the dyne coupled with the motor. The value was found to be 0.483 A / (krpm/s).
For the Teknic motor these controllers were tuned experimentally by injecting 50% rated torque (19.4 oz-in) disturbances while running the motor at 50% rated speed (2000 rpm). This resulted in the following gains:
The inertia used by the SpinTAC speed controller was estimated with the dyne coupled with the motor. The value was found to be 4.23 A / (krpm/s).
These gains were held constant throughout all of the tests. This was done purposefully in order to highlight the wide operating range of the SpinTAC speed controller.
