Overview of motor control methods
Properties of the motor control methods in comparison
Voltage Frequency Control (VFC):
−  Asynchronous motors
−  Reluctance motors
−  Synchronous motors
−  Special motors
• Motor running is controlled by
characteristic
• Voltage of motor is altered
proportional to output fre-
quency of inverter
Sensorless Flux Control (SFC):
−  Asynchronous motors
• Calculation of the rotor speed
and the rotor angle from the
electrical variables
• High torque output based on
field orientation (calculation
of the currents to be set)
• High dynamics and smooth
running
• Operation without encoder
Field-Oriented Regulation (FOR):
−  Asynchronous motors
• Calculation of the rotor speed
and rotor angle from the
encoder information
• Very high torque output
based on field orientation
(calculation of the currents to
be set)
• Maximum dynamics and
smoothness
• Operation with encoder
