Field-Oriented Regulation (FOR)
In FOR the rotor and speed positions are ascertained with an encoder.
Based on those measurement variables, the flux- and torque-forming cur-
rents can always be fed into the motor in optimum positions relative to
each other. This produces maximum dynamics and smoothness.
