This book explains to students and practitioners the structure, functionality and design of essential components of electrical drives. This includes current, speed and position sensors as well as the structure and parameterization of the drive control loops. The focus is on the representation of the speed or position-regulated permanent magnet synchronous machine, which represents the essential type of drive in modern machine, packaging and production machines, their control processes and the connection via communication systems to the higher-level control.

The content
Motor types (brushed motor, electronically commutated brushless motor, permanent-magnet synchronous machine, asynchronous machine, linear motor) - converters and filter concepts - fundamentals of field-oriented control, two-axis transformation, torque generation, basic control structure, pole wheel-oriented control - sensors in electrical drives (current sensor, tachometer generator, resolver, absolute and incremental encoders) - Standard application functions of drives (electronic gear, cam, electric shaft) - Communication with electric drives (fieldbus)

The target groups
Students of electrical engineering, automation technology and mechatronics in bachelor's degrees at technical colleges and universities Engineers in mechanical engineering companies who are looking for practice-oriented further training in the application and design of modern electric drives are looking for committed technicians who want to familiarize themselves with the performance of electric drives
