Abstract
Abstract A control system for a permanent magnet synchronous motor includes a position estimator means having for cross correlating the back EMF of the unenergized winding with a reference waveform to determine the estimated position of the rotor for determining rotor angle position error; an error compensator, responsive to the rotor angle position error, for determining the angular speed of the field; an angle generator, responsive to the angular speed of the field, for generating the field angle position; and a waveform generator, responsive to the rotor angle position, for generating a periodic signal corresponding to each winding and designating a segment of that signal for driving that winding to adjust the field speed to the rotor speed.
