FPGA-BASED CONTROL ARCHITECTURE FOR MULTIPLE-AXIS MOTION SYSTEM

FPGAs have been successfully used in many control applications such as power converter control and electrical machines control. This is because such an FPGA-based implementation can offer an effective reprogrammable capability and overcome disadvantages of microprocessor-based or digital signal processor-based embedded systems. This book aims to provide a proof-of-concept for the control-system-on-chip and prototype for a fully-implemented FPGA control architecture for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. In this book, a special focus is given on analytical effects, design procedure, and control performance enhancement for PMSM drive sunder vector control using intelligent control technique. The control schemes include FPGA-based intelligent control and robust cascade control for single axis and multiple axis tracking with PMSMs. In addition, a sequential FSM is developed in this work to result in less logic gate resources, leading to a faster processing time. Significance of this book contribution includes in providing a feasible and effective solution for the implementation of complex control strategies to fully exploit the FPGA advantages in drive applications.
