PMSM Drive and Motor Control HIL in RT-LAB

Overview

A motor-drive starter model for validating PMSM control, inverter behavior, and drive dynamics in real time.

This model gives the RT-LAB community a classic electric-drive example with broad appeal across academia, transportation, and industrial drives. It is well suited for users working on field-oriented control, inverter behavior, torque response, and embedded control validation.

Key Features

    • Testing PMSM drive behavior under changing torque and speed conditions
    • Validating field-oriented control or related motor-control strategies
    • Connecting drive control logic to real-time plant behavior
    • Serving as a starting point for traction, industrial, or teaching-lab applications

Getting Started

    1. Run the drive under nominal conditions.
    1. Apply speed and torque changes.
    1. Monitor current regulation, torque ripple, and dynamic response.
    1. Use the model as a baseline for controller-HIL experiments.
