Motor control books

[kayli10]

Pls tell me if this doesn’t fit the sub. I’ll remove it.

I am looking for books to understand motor control especially for PMSM motors using FOC. Even better if it has sensorless control methods. Currently I’m referring a book by R. Krishnan but I want something better.

Hello,

I could recommend:

1. DRM148
2. AN14616
3. PMSMMCXN10UG
4. AN4642
5. Internal EMEA6 Motor Control Basics deck
6. NXP Community PMSM & FOC Theory article

1. Start Here: DRM148
Sensorless PMSM Control Design (DRM148)

Topics:

• PMSM mathematical model
• Clarke Transform
• Park Transform
• Current FOC
• Speed FOC
• Back-EMF estimation
• Sensorless rotor position estimation
• Startup strategy
• Observer theory

2. Learn MCAT (Motor Identification and Tuning)

Motor Control Application Tuning (MCAT) Tool for 3-Phase PMSM (AN4642)

Topics:

• Motor parameter identification
• Current loop tuning
• Speed loop tuning
• FOC parameter generation
• FreeMASTER integration

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/application-note/AN4642.pdf

3. Read the Modern MCX Sensorless Application Note

AN14616: Sensorless PMSM Field-Oriented Control (FOC) on MCX E24x

Topics:

• Peripheral implementation
• PWM synchronization
• ADC sampling
• Sensorless observer integration
• Real firmware structure

https://docs.nxp.com/bundle/AN14616

4. Study Complete Working Software
MCUXpresso SDK Field-Oriented Control (FOC) of 3-Phase PMSM and BLDC Motors

This is one of the best practical documents because it explains how the complete software stack is organized.

5. Reference Design
PMSM Sensorless FOC Using MCX A153

Contains:

• Reference design
• Software package
• Documentation
• Hardware setup
• Supporting libraries (RTCESL)

NXP describes it as a complete PMSM sensorless FOC starting point.
