Industrial washing machine application

TDE MACNO implemented a new application in OpenDrive (sensorless control SW) for industrial washing machines.

Main characteristics:

  • auto-disabling of the run command on speed reference close to 0
  • measurement of the load unbalance before starting centrifuging
  • variable gains according to the working frequency

Besides those particular functions, very useful for this application are:

  • Slip compensation enabling the control of the motor, with or without load, at the set rpm
  • Stability at very low rpm (some Hz)
  • No noisiness during centrifuging, in flux weakening area (2,5 time the nom. current)
