Motor control agorithms

[tashigeorge]

I am having X-NUCLEO-IHM08M1 board. From the documentation, I came to know that it supports both FOC algorithm as well as 6- step algorithm. I came to understand FOC algorithm is used for torque control. Correct me if I am wrong. But I didn't get any info regarding does it can be used in both sensored as well as Sensor less configuration. Also, can anyone give me an idea on what is the significance of 6 step algorithm and what is its application.

Thank you.

Hello tashigeorge,

All documentation regarding our FOC and 6-Step implementation can be found in the MCSDK User Manual : Via WorkBench, you can find it by clicking on About -> Documentations -> Documentation -> in the newly open browser window, click on User Manual.
More generally speaking, you can also find useful information on our solution thanks to our MCSDK Wiki.

I will answer nonetheless some of your questions :

FOC can be used in Speed Control as much as in Torque Control.
Both sensorless and sensored modes are available for FOC
