Development of FOC algorithm using model-based design approach entails creating and testing the algorithm in a simulation environment. Once the control algorithm model is developed, it can be ...

Texas Instruments has announced its InstaSPIN-FOC (field-oriented control) motor control solution – a sensorless software-based solution built on its FAST (flux, angle, speed and torque) algorithm.

Many industries have delayed the use and adoption of sensorless FOC motor techniques because of the lack of motor control system knowledge, despite the many system benefits these techniques provide.

The FOC algorithm is made up of three operational states: motor stopped; open-loop FOC; and sensorless FOC. When the start button is pressed, the algorithm first enters the initialization state ...

2. The sensorless FOC algorithm eliminates an expensive encoder, but it’s computationally intensive. (Source: TI “InstaSPIN FOC Training” PDF) ...
