    Toshiba: motor control software development Kit "MCU Motor Studio Ver.3.0" (Graphic: Business Wire)
    FOC is a highly efficient motor control method, but difficult to realize because of the complexities of using proportional-integral (PI) control gain for tuning the motor driver.
  • PI control is usually applied to position control, speed control and current control, producing three PI control gain parameters that interfere with each other.
  • Meanwhile, MCU Motor Studio performs motor control using known motor parameters, but the problem here is that there was no function for extracting the parameter from the motor.
