In the case of AC motor drives, in contrast to conventional vector control where the inverter is not taken into consideration by the controller, the proposed control integrates the inverter model and considers the states of inverter switches as a control variable. It allows the obtaining of faster torque dynamics rather than vector control algorithms. The main design specifications are a reduced switching frequency and simple hardware implementation. A predictive sliding mode controller has been developed, designed as finite state automata (FSM), and implemented with a FPGA. This new logic FPGA torque and speed controller has been developed, analyzed, and experimentally verified.

The overall stability of the system is shown using Lyapunov technique.

The main difference from DSP-based solution is that FPGA allows simultaneous execution of all control procedures, enabling high performance and novel control methods. The control algorithm has been developed using a VHDL language or CAD state graphical approach based on the use of logical state diagram. The FPGA switching controller has been designed as simple as possible while maintaining good accuracy and dynamic response. A sliding mode switching controller via Lyapunov design presented in this paper has been implemented on a SPARTAN 3 for a prototype buck converter. The high computation power of FPGA allows digital implementation of more advanced control algorithms such as sliding mode controller. Simulations and experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed method, opening interesting possibilities in motion and power electronics converter control.

The key idea, presented in this paper, is to integrate the benefits of the variable structure system control design and the event-driven sequential control structures to raise the system performance and to improve the control efficiency. Twofold design covers the switching conditions determination using the Lyapunov stability criteria and the event- driven sequential switching pattern design for the switching of inverter transistors. The proposed control design is applied for the control of three phase permanent magnet synchronous machine.

We also propose integrated motion-control architecture based on a sliding mode control to be implemented in digital logic at an equally high rate. A switching controller combines the current and motion feedback paths into a single loop. A model-based observer estimates the load torque. When compared to second-order controllers implemented with traditional amplifiers, the proposed design promises increased performance, better efficiency, and improved load estimation. Recent advances in semiconductor technology provide the required fast switching and logic with relatively standard components. Simple implementation make concepts of switching control very attractive in motion control systems like control of dc or ac servomotors. The control algorithm designed by proposed approach can be easily implemented on DSP/FPGA platforms.

Thus these motors can be advantageously employed as actuators in several high-performance motor applications. Since the indirect vector control scheme is sensitive to changes in the rotor time constant, the implementation of an estimation mechanism is essential for the success of such a control system. In this paper, a new rotor time constant estimation method for an indirect vector-controlled induction motor drive is described. Its features are simple and cheap implementation and independence of motor parameters which drift with temperature. It does not require any additional transducers or any injected test signals to the stator. The estimation is performed while the loaded motor operates under steady-state conditions. Simulation results are presented which verify the proposed estimation scheme
