Abstract

Implementation and experimental verification of a simple neuro-controller (SNC) as a speed controller for a brush less DC (BLDC) motor is presented. The SNC with one weight and a linear hard limit activation function is trained on-line using the back propagation algorithm. A modified error function is used to ensure good performance during the on-line training, which has been used without previous off-line training. The SNC has been implemented using a computer-interface card mounted on a PC. The driving system performance has been investigated by a number of experimental tests for a variety of input reference speed trajectories.
