A Digitally Controlled Drive System For Travelling-Wave Ultrasonic Motor, Güngör Bal

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A digitally controlled drive system was implemented in this study to control the speed and direction of a travelling-wave ultrasonic motor. The drive system, based on a 2-phase voltage-fed high-frequency serial-resonant inverter, uses the mechanical resonant frequency of an ultrasonic motor. A TMS320F243 digital signal processor was used to control an ultrasonic motor drive system. The speed control of the ultrasonic motor was achieved with a driving frequency in the 41.3-43.3 kHz frequency range. The feasible evaluations of the proposed drive and control system were tested by experiments. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed drive and control system is flexible …
