Testing electric-motor drive controls can be optimized by employing digital twins within a single development platform and via test automation, thus creating a continuous testing workflow. Dr.-Ing.

Each motor has a built-in inverter, control electronics, and software (Fig. 1). The company has installed four IWMs in a Ford F-150 battery electric vehicle (BEV).

Texas Instruments has released a free, interactive online simulation tool that enables motor designers to assess the company’s InstaSPIN-field-oriented-control (FOC) technology. This online simulation ...

Key ac induction motor outputs include airgap torque, Mairgap, rotor position, mot, and speed, mot. Motor temperature, Tmot, and rotor position signals are sent to the motor control simulation.
