Multi-motor Drive System Based on Adjacent Coupling Error Strategy

A new control strategy named adjacent coupling error strategy is proposed to multi-motor drive system. The adjacent coupling error control scheme is developed considering the tracking speed error in one motor and the synchronous error among adjacent motors simultaneously. In the strategy, due to non-linear effects of the two mentioned errors to the motion control of motor i, an adaptive fuzzy logic controller is designed to decide the control variable of the motor drive system. The multi-motor drive system is modeled and simulated by SIMULINK. The simulated researches show that the proposed strategy improves the synchronization, stabilization, and convergence of the multi-motor system.
