6.2.3.2 Speed/Power Controller Tuning

The FOC Algorithm uses an integrated speed/Power control loop that helps maintain a constant speed/power over varying operating conditions. The Kp and Ki coefficients are configured through speedLoopKp and speedLoopKi in the "System Configurations" section on the Motor Tuning page. The output of the speed loop/Power Loop is used to generate the current reference for torque control. The output of the speed/power loop is limited by configuring iLIMIT in the closedLoop1 configuration in the Register Map page of GUI. When output of the speed/Power loop saturates, the integrator is disabled to prevent integral wind-up.

To tune the Kp and Ki values for speed loop:

  1. Configure the motor to spin continuously in Closed loop Torque Mode by setting controlMode in closedLoop1 to 10b.
  2. Adjust the torque reference to spin the motor at 50% of rated Speeds.
  3. The current feedback gradually settles down to the set Iqref to run at the target speed.
  4. Speed loop Kp [SPD_LOOP_KP] is calculated using this equation: SpeedLoop Kp = Current Reference in Torque Mode / Operating Speed in Hz
  5. Speed loop Ki [SPD_LOOP_KI] is calculated using this equation: Speed Loop Ki = Speed Loop Kp × 0.1
  6. If the Speed continously fluctuates without settling, adjust the Current Loop Kp and Ki such that motor settles to constant speed for a given torque reference.
    Note: Once satisfactory Kp and Ki are recorded switch to controlMode 0b to operate the motor in closed loop speed control. The tuning of speed loop Kp and Ki is experimental. If the above recommendation does not work, manually tune speed loop Kp and Ki until the desired results are achieved.

    Table 6-1 shows general guidelines to change controller gains.

    Table 6-1 Guidelines to Change Controller Gains
    Parameter Rise Time Overshoot Settling Time Stead State Error Stability
    Kp Decreases Increases Small Change Decreases Degrades
    Ki Decreases Increases Increases Eliminates Degrades
