Abstract

This paper details the design and testing of a high dynamic performance, modular linear permanent magnet (PM) machine and drive system with an FPGA based controller. Advantages of the modular design and the impacts of this arrangement on the drive and control systems are discussed. A complete description of the prototype machine is given, including the major design choices and construction. The necessary functions of the power electronic drive are explained, as are the tasks and architecture of the system control. Finally, results from extensive testing of the entire system are presented.
