摘要： An electric motor actuator used in an environment of varying loads for varying time periods is efficiently designed to a predetermined specification in terms of both motor load and time and operated up to but not exceeding this specification over the full expected operating range. A motor load signal is low pass filtered with a plurality of time constants spanning a range of expected motor operation to generate a plurality of filtered motor load signals each associated with one of the time constants. Each of these filtered motor load signals is compared with a predetermined reference value corresponding to the associated time constant. If one or more of the filtered motor load signals exceeds the predetermined reference value with which it is compared, the one that so exceeds by the greatest margin is selected. A command current limit factor is derived from the selected filtered motor load signal and used to limit the commanded motor current. The motor load signal preferably indicates motor operating current and may be derived from a motor current sensor or from the limited command current signal, motor speed and operating voltage to compensate for a decrease of current with motor speed due to inductance/slope compensation and voltage limit effects.

摘要： An electric power steering control for a motor vehicle reduces motor torque ripple and road generated disturbances communicated to the vehicle handwheel while promoting system stability. In deriving an output command torque signal to the EPS motor, the control (1) derives an electric motor speed signal, (2) differentiates the electric motor speed signal, (3) stores a schedule of gain as an increasing function of electric motor torque, (4) modifies the differentiated estimated electric motor speed signal in response to the gain to provide a damping correction value and (5) derives the output command signal responsive to the damping correction. In a preferred embodiment, the control (1) stores power assist torque data as a function of handwheel torque and vehicle velocity, (2) provides a vehicle velocity signal, (3) provides a handwheel torque signal, (4) modifies the handwheel torque signal in response to the damping correction value, (5) derives a power assist torque value from the stored power assist torque data in response to the vehicle velocity signal and the modified handwheel torque signal and (6) derives the output command signal from the power assist torque value. The control may use an electric motor voltage signal as an estimate of electric motor speed and, for high torque loads, may use the pulse on-time parameter in a pulse width modulated, current switching control to represent the voltage of the controlled electric motor, and therefore the estimate of electric motor speed, so that no additional sensor is needed. The control may use separate stored relationships between the pulse width on-time and electric motor voltage for different commutation modes of the pulse width modulated, current switching control.
