A Novel Angle Segmentation Method for Magnetic Encoders Based on Filtering Window Adaptive Adjustment Using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization.

In this paper we outline newly-developed control algorithms, designed to achieve high-precision feedback for a motor control system using a magnetic encoder. The magnetic encoder, combing single-pole and multi-pole magnetic steels, was adopted to extend the resolution of the magnetic encoder. First, with a view to settling the issue of the jump points of the multi-pole angle value at the convergence of two adjacent magnetic poles, the angle segmentation method, which uses the window filter discrimination method, is employed to determine the actual angle value. The appropriate filter window width is selected via the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm, and an expanded resolution is achieved. Second, a compensation table is completed via a linear compensation algorithm based on virtual cutting to enhance the accuracy of the combined magnetic encoder. On this basis, a linear difference algorithm is used to achieve deviation correction of the angle. Finally, the jump points can be restrained effectively via the angle segmentation method. The resolution reaches 0.05°, and the accuracy is 0.045°.
