Mechanical Model Description

Attached to the machine model's shaft is a basic mechanical model.  This model was chosen due to its common application, and the ability to extend its functionality. The behavior of the model varies depending upon whether the Mechanical Model Mode is set to Torque Controlled (1) or Speed Controlled (0).

Torque Controlled

Because the 6-Phase PMSM BLDC model implements two electromagnetically independent 3-Phase PMSM BLDC models, we calculate the Speed (ωm) and Total Torque  (Ttotal) by combining the two independent machines electromagnetic torques (Te1 and Te2).   The result is a basic mechanical model which is mechanically coupled but not electrically coupled.Image Removed

When the Mechanical Model Mode is set to Torque Controlled (1), the equation of the mechanical model can be expressed as follows:


Mathblock
anchormech_speed
alignmentcenter
\frac{\partial ω_m}{\partial t} = \frac{1}{J} * (T_{total} - F_v ω_m)

where

Mathblock
anchorTTotal
alignmentcenter
T_{total}=(T_{e1}+T_{e2})-T_L-T_f

...


There is a dead-zone implementation with the static friction torque; if the Electromagnetic Torque (Te) does not exceed the Static Friction (Tf) torque, the speed remains at zero.

Note that in equation 

Mathblock ref
anchormech_speed
, the value of the mechanical speed (ωm) is in radians per second, while the output of the Mechanical Speed channel will be in RPM.

...

 The equation for the Electromagnetic Torque (Te) of each type of machine can be found on its specific description page under the Machine Section.

The following equation is used to calculate the machine power:

Mathblock
anchorPower
alignmentcenter
P_{m} = T_{total} * ω_m

...

When the Mechanical Model Mode is set to Speed Controlled (0), the mechanical parameters (Viscous DampingStatic FrictionInertia) are ignored.  Instead Instead, the rotor speed is directly set using the User-Defined Speed parameter, ωuser.

Choosing a Mechanical Model Mode

Select Speed Controlled mode if:

  1. Your project requires you to manually set the speed of the machine

  2. Your project has a mechanical model that requires you to input the speed of the machine in to the model

Select Torque Controlled mode if:

  1. Your project requires you to manually set the load torque of the machine

  2. Your project has a mechanical model that requires you to input the load toque of the machine in to the model
