Method and system for motor velocity measurement

摘要

A method and system for determining the velocity of a rotating device is described herein. The system includes an apparatus with a set of sense magnets affixed to a rotating shaft of the rotating device and a circuit assembly. The circuit assembly includes a circuit interconnection having a plurality of sense coils and sensors affixed thereto. The circuit assembly is adapted be in proximity to the set of sense magnets on the rotating part. A controller is coupled to the circuit assembly, where the controller executes an adaptive algorithm that determines the velocity of the rotating device. The algorithm is a method of combining a derived velocity with a velocity from the tachometer. The algorithm includes a plurality of functions including: receiving a position signal related to the rotational position of the shaft; determining a derived velocity from the position signal; generating a plurality of tachometer velocity signals; determining a compensated velocity in response to the plurality tachometer velocity signals; and blending the compensated velocity with derived velocity to generate a blended velocity output.
