Introduction to Motor Control

Self-paced, interactive course available as part of Online Training Suite subscription

Since R2024b

Description

Introduction to Motor Control is a self-paced, interactive course that is included with the Online Training Suite.

Introduction to Motor Control provides an introduction to modeling and controlling electric motors in Simulink®. To get the most out of Introduction to Motor Control, take Simulink Onramp Onramp first.

Introduction to Motor Control teaches you to:

  • Identify and set fundamental parameters for a motor block.

  • Integrate an Average-Value Inverter block into a model.

  • Convert a three-phase voltage output to a three-phase duty signal.

  • Implement an open-loop motor controller.

  • Implement a closed-loop controller with speed and current control loops.

  • Use Rate Transition blocks to improve simulation speed.

Introduction to Motor Control uses tasks to teach concepts incrementally, such as through a real-life example with motor-inverter plant model, Voltage-by-Frequency (V/F) controller and Field-Oriented Controller (FOC). You receive automated assessments and feedback after submitting tasks. Your progress is saved when you exit the course, so you can complete the course in multiple sessions.

Introduction to Motor Control describes the task, displays an interactive model, and assesses whether the model matches the requirements set by the training.

Open the Introduction to Motor Control

  • Simulink Start Page: On the Learn tab, click the Launch button that appears when you pause on Introduction to Motor Control (under the Electrification section)

  • MATLAB® Command Window: Enter learning.simulink.launchOnramp("otslimc").

Note

If you do not have access to the Introduction to Motor Control course, explore access options at Self-Paced Online Courses.
