Tool/software:
Hi,
we have implemented a PMSM servo drive using combined FOC/encoder commutation with external PID control using a PWM torque signal, and the next step is to send fault/status information back to the external controller via CAN for diagnostics. One category of faults we would like to detect is PMSM hardware faults i.e. open circuit/short circuit windings.
Are there any existing utilities or reference materials for implementing motor fault detection? I have done a search but can't find anything, and I'd prefer not to have to start from scratch.
Thanks for any assistance.
