Motor Modeling 2:
Developing State Equations



Some basic electical and mechanical equations (w/ Laplace notion highlighted)
- Eqn's matching VOLTAGE Eqn's matching TORQUE
-
(C*V) = (1/s)*i (C*V) = Q = [integral] i dt


Keep mindful of various notations for angle and angular velocity, etc: Current will produce a torque: ...which must be balanced against the forces due to inertia (J) and friction (D): The back EMF (voltage) generated is proportion to the angular velocity: And finally, note that the BACK EMF CONSTANT (Ke) is in fact the SAME VALUE as the TORQUE CONSTANT: ...convert each to MKS units to see this.
