Description
SPEED estimates Speed [x] and acceleration from measured speed (MeasSpd
using a algorithm with two time constants: Taul[sec] and is the sample time of the control.
Here [x] is the unit of the measured speed.
It can be used to estimate motor angular speed and motor angular acceleration from motor speed coming from
a tachometer or encoder. Motor speed is filtered to output estimated motor speed, and derivate to output
estimated motor acceleration. Estimated motor acceleration can be used to determine current feed-forward to
drive the motor faster.
AccFFwd is used by observer to obtain a better speed and acceleration estimation. If no feed-forward
of acceleration is this input can be leave zero.
Let us make a simple example:
Consider a machine that manufactures a material. This machine has two motors using to move material, one is
the master and other is the slave. Slave drive can read master encoder and a digital signal from master that
indicates when master is acceleration (this signal can come from master ramp function). Slave can use
speedobs block to estimate line speed and acceleration. So [rpm] is master speed from its encoder,
AccFFwd is calculated as follows:
if (master is acceleration)
AccFFwd=SlaveAcc;
else
So speedobs block can use this information (AccFFwd) to obtain a better speed and acceleration estimations.
The resulting Speed obtained from speedobs can use to calculate slave speed reference, and
can use as
slave current feed-forward (after appropriate scaling depending on master ramp times, master and
slave gear-box ratios and slave motor inertia) to improve slave response at master ramp acceleration.
As explained above, AccFFwd can leave zero but speed and acceleration would be estimated with a delay.
