Figure 4-15 shows the start-up sequence waveform for a PMSM motor with a sensorless FOC
algorithm. The sequence usually consists of three phases: align, open loop ramp-up,
speed closed loop. Complete the following steps during aligning:
- Slowly increase aligning current to prevent any surge current
- Move to open loop ramp-up
- Ramp-up current can be set to meet the start load requirement
- The rotor position observer starts to work during ramp-up time
- Once the motor speed reaches the set point and the rotor angle error is small enough, then the software moves to closed speed and closed current loop
The following list of channels are presented in
Figure 4-15.
- CH1(Blue): Observed rotor angle
- CH2 (Cyan): AC input voltage
- CH3 (Purple): DC bus voltage
- CH4 (Green): Current of phase U
