Does the HSO algorithm in FOC support IPMSM motors

MCSDK 6.3.1

Does the HSO algorithm in FOC support IPMSM motors? I see that in the MCSDK software, i can select IPMSM, but the generated code does not include ld and lq. Does this mean the HSO algorithm can only be used with SPMSM?

Hello propu,

The HSO can run any PMSM (SPMSM or IPMSM) motors with only one inductance value. Lq is used because you want your current to be in the q-direction. Of course, for very high saliency machines, running at high current levels (compared to your short-circuit current) can be difficult. Indeed, if your angle is off, then you start to input d-current too, and start computing with a wrong inductance value. In that case we recommend reducing the inductance value of your system so the HSO can still operate. We recommend using the values given back by the HSO's MotorProfiler feature at first, and then adapt according to your situation.
