Abstract

See full text

A motor control circuit measures the motor voltage to determine actual motor speed. This speed voltage is the sum of the back emf and armature loses. The control circuit receives a reference voltage proportional to the desired motor speed and a further signal voltage indicative of the motor armature losses. These three voltages are combined to provide a first error signal representing the difference between the reference voltage and the motor back emf. This error signal is substractively combined with a signal representative of the motor power to produce a control signal for a modulator circuit which in turn controls a semiconductor switch in series with the motor.
