VELOCITY PI REGULATOR WITH NEGATIVE FEEDFORWARD TO CONTROL RESPONSE OF COMMAND INPUTS INDEPENDENT OF TORQUE DISTURBANCES

摘要

A method and apparatus for control of one or more torque-regulated motors in a controlled system in which a feedforward velocity component is subtracted from an output of proportional-integral velocity regulator to soften the command response of the motor control, independent of torque disturbances reflected in the velocity feedback path. The velocity feedforward path is decoupled from the velocity feedback path. In a preferred embodiment, a digital-type motor controller is used to practice the method in controlling a paper processing line.
