Functional analysis
In a functional analysis each component which performs a function must
merely be replaced by another one. In this case this means:
• the DC motor is replaced by an AC motor
• the tacho is replaced by a digital encoder and
• the DC controller is replaced by an inverter with field-oriented regula-
tion.
Figure 1.6 Solution from functional analysis
The functional analysis produces a solution with speed feedback - See
Table 1.1.
(1) Inverter with field-oriented regulation
(2) AC motor
(3) Encoder
(4) Gearing
(5) Screw return thrust bearing
