SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A BRUSHLESS MOTOR

A system and method for controlling a permanent magnet brushless motor is provided. The system, for example, may include, but is not limited to, at least one Hall effect sensor configured to generate data at each Hall effect event, and a processor communicatively coupled to the at least one Hall effect sensor, the processor configured to determine, aperiodically at each Hall effect event, an angular rate of the permanent magnet brushless motor and a determined angular rate correction factor based upon the generated data, determine, periodically at a predetermined frequency, a new estimated electrical position of the permanent magnet brushless motor based upon the determined angular rate of the permanent magnet brushless motor and the determined angular rate correction factor, and generate, periodically at the predetermined frequency, a field oriented control signal for the permanent magnet brushless motor based upon the new estimated electrical position of the permanent magnet brushless motor.
