Mechanical Contact-Less Computational Speed Sensing Approach of PWM Operated PMDC Brushed Motor: A Slotting-Effect and Commutation Phenomenon Incorporated Semi-Analytical Dynamic Model-Based Approach.

This brief proposes a mechanical contact-less speed sensing approach for a pulse width modulation (PWM) operated permanent-magnet direct current (PMDC) brushed motor. A recently reported semi-analytical dynamic model which incorporates the space-domain effects, namely slotting-effect and commutation phenomenon, has been taken into consideration to apply the proposed computational speed sensing approach. This speed sensing approach is basically an indirect estimation process and discrete in manner. The proposed method is efficiently applicable at higher range of speed. Zones of estimations with varying load torque and PWM duty cycle are represented with appropriate responses. A simulation of the proposed estimation method is applied over the dynamic semi-analytical model of 24 V, 12 teeth-slots, 100 W PMDC brushed motor, and various responses are represented in this brief.
