Abstract

A method automatically detects stability of a regulator cascade having a number of cascaded regulators. A regulation error of a respective regulator is processed by the respective regulator and the processed regulation error is output as a regulator manipulated variable. A reference variable for the respectively downstream regulator in the regulator cascade is ascertained as a function of the regulator manipulated variable. The method includes: ascertaining an energy content of a respective regulation error; ascertaining whether an absolute value of a respective regulator manipulated variable exceeds an associated limiting value or not; and generating a stability measure for the regulator cascade as a function of the energy contents of the respective regulation errors and as a function of whether the respective regulator manipulated variables exceed their associated limiting values or not.

Abstract

A method for determining a rotational angle position of a rotor of a multiphase electrical machine, includes the steps of: generating phase voltages for the multiphase electrical machine by pulse width modulation in accordance with a drive voltage vector circulating in a stator-fixed coordinate system. During a determination time interval: a) generating a test voltage vector, vectorially adding the test voltage vector and the actual drive voltage vector to form a sum vector, outputting the sum vector, and measuring a resulting change of a current vector formed from phase currents; b) repeating step a) for a changed rotational angle position and/or a changed value of the drive voltage vector and for a changed test voltage vector a number n of times so that a total of n+I different test voltage vectors and sum vectors are generated and n+I resulting changes of the current vector are measured; and c) estimating the rotational angle position of the rotor in accordance with the total of n+I measured changes of the current vector.

Circuit for generating a sampling signal for a UART interface, and by comparing values stored in peripheral clock memory

Abstract

A circuit for generating a sampling signal for a UART interface has an input terminal designed to receive a peripheral clock, an output terminal designed to output the sampling signal, a bit rate memory designed to store a value corresponding to a desired bit rate of the UART interface, a peripheral clock memory designed to store a value corresponding to a frequency of the peripheral clock, a sum memory designed to store a sum value, and a computing unit. The computing unit compares a comparison value, which is dependent on the sum value stored in the sum memory, with a threshold value, which is dependent on the value stored in the peripheral clock memory. The result of the comparison is taken as a basis for generating the sampling signal at a first level or a second level. In step with the peripheral clock and on the basis of the result of the comparing, the sum value stored in the sum memory is altered by the value stored in the bit rate memory or the sum value stored in the sum memory is altered by a value that is dependent on the value stored in the peripheral clock memory.

Abstract

The invention relates to a detection of the failure of a phase in a system fed by a plurality of phases of a network voltage N, said system comprising an intermediate circuit (5) and a rectifier (4), wherein a direct voltage uz (t) of the intermediate circuit (5) rectified by means of the rectifier (4) is pulsed at a multiple of the frequency as a fundamental wave. A measuring element (10) provides a sensor signal u1 as a representation of the pulsed direct voltage uz (t). The problem addressed by the invention is that of detecting a phase failure of a phase and, in the event of a detection of a phase failure of a phase, suspending the dependence on the supply voltage. This problem is solved in that the sensor signal u1 is fed to a frequency filter (11), which produces an output signal u2. In said frequency filter, a signal having a frequency of the multiple of the network frequency is damped, but a signal having a frequency of less than half of said multiple of the network frequently is damped significantly less. The output signal u2 is fed to a circuit (12) and the failure of one of the phases is detected.
