Abstract

Induction motors (IM) provide a very wide speed range, mechanically robust and relatively low cost motion control option. An up-to-date summary of the status of induction motor motion control technology is the subject of this paper. The topics which this paper includes are as follows: basic motion control system requirements; field orientation instantaneous torque control principles for induction motors (FO-IM); current regulators for induction motor motion control; flux and torque regulators for induction motor motion control; self commissioning and continuous self-tuning for field orientation. Technology advances based on modern control and estimation theory have the potential to further enhance the capability of this important class of servo drive systems
