Abstract:
A motor controller for controlling the operation of an electric motor, said motor controller comprising:sensing means for sensing at least one dynamic operating characteristic of said motor and for providing a signal indicative of the at least one sensed dynamic motor operating characteristic;variable gain regulator for receiving a current command request signal having a value and for providing a motor current control signal having a value functionally related to the value of said received current command request signal and a gain control value;gain scheduler operatively coupled to said variable gain regulator and to said sensing means for providing said gain control value to said variable gain regulator in response to said sensed at least one dynamic motor operating characteristic to thereby control the amount of gain of said variable gain regulator; anddrive circuit operatively connected to the variable gain regulator and said motor for energizing said motor in response to said motor current control signal.
