3. Working Principle

Equipment Initialization & Parameter Configuration
After power-on, the auxiliary power supply generates control circuit voltage from DC bus and completes self-check and initialization. Operators can set parameters on site through PCB adjustment interfaces, or remotely configure motor rated current, PI parameters, command input range, communication parameters and other items via Profibus bus to match motor characteristics and actual working conditions.
Command & Feedback Collection
Control commands can be received in two ways: one is ±10V analog commands sent by upper controllers and transmitted to the control unit through differential input ports; the other is remote control commands received via Profibus bus. Meanwhile, real-time RLG/tachometer feedback signals are sent back from motors, filtered and amplified by detection units to collect accurate motor speed and position data, providing reliable data support for closed-loop regulation.

PI Closed-loop Regulation & PWM Output
The control unit compares received control commands with actual speed feedback signals, calculates error adjustment values through PI controller and generates three-phase trapezoidal commutation PWM signals. These signals drive the three-phase transistor bridge power output stage to output adjustable three-phase AC power, so as to regulate motor speed and torque in real time, realize smooth four-quadrant operation and ensure superior motion accuracy and stability.

Fault Monitoring & Protection
During operation, the device monitors output current, bus voltage, internal temperature and insulation status in real time. Once faults including short circuit, earth fault, overcurrent and over-temperature are detected, it will cut off power output immediately, upload fault information to upper systems via Profibus bus and trigger alarm signals to protect drives and motors, prevent fault spread and ensure system safety.

Remote Communication & Maintenance
Via Profibus bus, users can remotely send control commands, modify operating parameters and monitor real-time operating data such as speed, current and fault information. Operation and maintenance debugging can be realized without on-site operation, which greatly enhances convenience and efficiency.
