(6)转子电动机旳方程为J*d/dt = 3/2*N1iq Bf Tl , (7) 假如Bf是粘性摩擦系数，和Tl代表负荷扭矩（在本文中假定为恒定）。为了构成完整旳电动机旳状态方程，我们需要另一种代表转子位置旳状态变量。为此，一般使用满足下列方程旳所谓旳负荷角8D/dt = 0 , (8) 其中0是电动机旳稳态转速。方程（5），（7），和（8）构成电动机旳状态空间模型，其输入变量是电压vq和vd.如前所述，步进电机由逆变器供应，其输出电压不是正弦电波而是方波。然而，由于相比正弦状况下非正弦电压不能很大程度地变化振荡特性和不稳定性（如将在第3部分显示旳，振荡是由于电动机旳非线性），为了本文旳目旳我们可以假设供应电压是正弦波。根据这一假设，我们可以得到如下旳vq和vdvq = Vmcos(N) ,vd = Vmsin(N) , (9) 其中Vm是正弦波旳最大值。上述方程，我们已经将输入电压由时间函数转变为状态函数，并且以这种方式我们可以用自控系统描绘出电动机旳动态，如下所示。这将有助于简化数学分析。根据方程（5），（7），和（8），电动机旳状态空间模型可以如下写成矩阵式 = F(X,u) = AX + Fn(X) + Bu , (10) 其中X = iq id T, u = 1 Tl T 定义为输入，且1 = N0 是供应频率。输入矩阵B被定义为矩阵A是F(.)旳线性部分，如下Fn(X)代表了F(.)旳线性部分，如下输入端u独立于时间，因此，方程（10）是独立旳。在F(X,u)中有三个参数，它们是供应频率1，电源电压幅度Vm和负荷扭矩Tl。这些参数影响步进电机旳运行状况。在实践中，一般用这样一种方式来驱动步进电机，即用因指令脉冲而变化旳供应频率1来控制电动机旳速度，而电源电压保持不变。因此，我们应研究参数1旳影响。3.分叉和中频振荡，设=0，得出方程（10）旳平衡且是它旳相角， = arctan(1L1/R) . (16) 方程（12）和（13）显示存在着多重均衡，这意味着这些平衡永远不能全局稳定。人们可以看到，如方程（12）和（13）所示有两组平衡。第一组由方程（12）对应电动机旳实际运行状况来代表。第二组由方程（13）总是不稳定且不波及到实际运作状况来代表。在下面，我们将集中精力在由方程（12）代表旳平衡上。 附件2：外文原文 Oscillation, Instability and Control of Stepper MotorsLIYU CAO and HOWARD M. SCHWARTZDepartment of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University, 1125 Colonel By Drive,Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6, Canada(Received: 18 February 1998; accepted: 1 December 1998)Abstract. A novel approach to analyzing instability in permanent-magnet stepper motors is presented. It is shown that there are two kinds of unstable phenomena in this kind ofmotor: mid-frequency oscillation and high-frequency instability. Nonlinear bifurcation theory is used to illustrate the relationship between local instability and midfrequencyoscillatory motion. A novel analysis is presented to analyze the loss of synchronism phenomenon, which is identified as high-frequency instability. The concepts of separatrices and attractors in phase-space are used to derive a quantity to evaluate the high-frequency instability. By using this quantity one can easily estimate the stability for high supply frequencies. Furthermore, a stabilization method is presented. A generalized approach to analyze the stabilization problem based on feedback theory is given. It is shown that the mid-frequency stabilityand the high-frequency stability can be improved by state feedback. Keywords: Stepper motors, instability, nonlinearity, state feedback.1. IntroductionStepper motors are electromagnetic incremental-motion devices which convert digital pulse inputs to analog angle outputs. Their inherent stepping ability allows for accurate position control without feedback. That is, they can track any step position in open-loop mode, consequently no feedback is needed to implement position control. Stepper motors deliver higher peak torque per unit weight than DC motors; in addition, they are brushless machines and therefore require less maintenance. All of these properties have made stepper motors a very attractive selection in many position and speed control systems, such as in computer hard disk drivers and printers, XY-tables, robot manipulators, etc.Although stepper motors have many salient properties, they suffer from an oscillation or unstable phenomenon. This phenomenon severely restricts their open-loop dynamic performance and applicable area where high speed operation is needed. The oscillation usually occurs at stepping rates lower than 1000 pulse/s, and has been recognized as a mid-frequency instability or local instability 1, or a dynamic instability 2. In addition, there is another kind of unstable phenomenon in stepper motors, that is, the motors usually lose synchronism at higher stepping rates, even though load torque is less than their pull-out torque. This phenomenon is identified as high-frequency instability in this paper, because it appears at much higher frequencies than the frequencies at which the mid-frequency oscillation occurs. The high-frequency instability has not been recognized as widely as mid-frequency instability, and there is not yet a method to evaluate it.Mid-frequency oscillation has been recognized widely for a very long time, however, a complete understanding of it has not been well established. This can be attributed to the nonlinearity that dominates the oscillation phenomenon and is quite difficult to deal with.384 L. Cao and H. M. SchwartzMost researchers have analyzed it based on a linearized model 1. Although in many cases, this kind of treatments is valid or useful, a treatment based on nonlinear theory is needed in order to give a better description on this complex phenomenon. For example, based on a linearized model one can only see that the motors turn to be locally unstable at some supplyfrequencies, which does not give much insight into the observed oscillatory phenomenon. In fact, the oscillation cannot be assessed unless one uses nonlinear theory.Therefore, it is significant to use developed mathematical theory on nonlinear dynamics to handle the oscillation or instability. It is worth noting that Taft and Gauthier 3, and Taft and Harned 4 used mathematical concepts such as limit cycles and separatrices in the analysis of oscillatory and unstable phenomena, and obtained some very instructive insights into the socalled loss of synchronous phenomenon. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of a comprehensive mathematical analysis in this kind of studies. In this paper a novel mathematical analysis is developed to analyze the oscillations and instability in stepper motors.The first part of this paper discusses the stability analysis of stepper motors. It is shown that the mid-frequency oscillation can be characterized as a bifurcation phenomenon (Hopf bifurcation) of nonlinear systems. One of contributions of this paper is to relate the midfrequency oscillation to Hopf bifurcation, thereby, the existence of the oscillation is provedtheoretically by Hopf theory. High-frequency instability is also discussed in detail, and a novel quantity is introduced to evaluate high-frequency stability. This quantity is very easyto calculate, and can be used as a criteria to predict the onset of the high-frequency instability. Experimental results on a real motor show the efficiency of this analytical tool.The second part of this paper discusses stabilizing control of stepper motors through feedback. Several authors have shown that by modulating the supply frequency 5, the midfrequencyinstability can be improved. In particular, Pickup and Russell 6, 7 have presented a detailed analysis on the frequency modulation method. In their analysis, Jacobi series was used to solve a ordinary differential equation, and a set of nonlinear algebraic equations had to be solved numerically. In addition, their analysis is undertaken for a two-phase motor, and therefore, their conclusions cannot applied directly to our situation, where a three-phase motor will be considered. Here, we give a more elegant analysis for stabilizing stepper motors, where no complex mathematical manipulation is needed. In this analysis, a dq model of stepper motors is used. Because two-phase motors and three-phase motors have the same qd model and therefore, the analysis is valid for both two-phase and three-phase motors. Up to date, it is only recognized that the modulation method is needed to suppress the midfrequency oscillation. In this paper, it is shown that this method is not only valid to improve mid-frequency stability, but also effective to improve high-frequency stability.2. Dynamic Model of Stepper MotorsThe stepper motor considered in this paper consists of a salient stator with two-phase or threephase windings, and a permanent-magnet rotor. A simplified schematic of a three-phase motor with one pole-pair is shown in Figure 1. The stepper motor is usually fed by a voltage-source inverter, which is controlled by a sequence of pulses and produces square-wave voltages. Thismotor operates essentially on the same principle as that of synchronous motors. One of major operating manner for stepper motors is that supplying voltage is kept constant and frequencyof pulses is changed at a very wide range. Under this operating condition, oscillation and instability problems usually arise.Figure 1. Schematic model of a three-phase stepper motor.A mathematical model for a three-phase stepper motor is established using qd framereference transformation. The voltage equations for three-phase windings are given byva = Ria + L*dia /dt M*dib/dt M*dic/dt + dpma/dt ,vb = Rib + L*dib/dt M*dia/dt M*dic/dt + dpmb/dt ,vc = Ric + L*dic/dt M*dia/dt M*dib/dt + dpmc/dt ,where R and L are the resistance and inductance of the phase windings, and M is the mutual inductance between the phase windings. _pma, _pmb and _pmc are the flux-linkages of thephases due to the permanent magnet, and can be assumed to be sinusoid functions of rotor position _ as followpma = 1 sin(N),pmb = 1 sin(N 2/3),pmc = 1 sin(N - 2/3),where N is number of rotor teeth. The nonlinearity emphasized in this paper is represented by the above equations, that is, the flux-linkages are nonlinear functions of the rotor position.By using the q; d transformation, the frame of reference is changed from the fixed phase axes to the axes moving with the rotor (refer to Figure 2). Transformation matrix from the a; b; c frame to the q; d frame is given by 8For example, voltages in the q; d reference are given byIn the a; b; c reference, only two variables are independent (ia C ib C ic D 0); therefore, the above transformation from three variables to two variables is allowable. Applying the abovetransformation to the voltage equations (1), the transferred voltage equation in the q; d frame can be obtained asvq = Riq + L1*diq/dt + NL1id + N1,vd=Rid + L1*did/dt NL1iq, (5)Figure 2. a, b, c and d, q reference frame.where L1 D L CM, and ! is the speed of the rotor.It can be shown that the motors torque has the following form 2T = 3/2N1iqThe equation of motion of the rotor is written asJ*d/dt = 3/2*N1iq Bf Tl ,where Bf is the coefficient of viscous friction, and Tl represents load torque, which is assumed to be a constant in this paper.In order to constitute the complete state equation of the motor, we need another state variable that represents the position of the rotor. For this purpose the so called load angle _ 8 is usually used, which satisfies the following equationD/dt = 0 ,where !0 is steady-state speed of the motor. Equations (5), (7), and (8) constitute the statespace model of the motor, for which the input variables are the voltages vq and vd. As mentioned before, stepper motors are fed by an inverter, whose output voltages are not sinusoidal but instead are square waves. However, because the non-sinusoidal voltages do not change the oscillation feature and instability very much if compared to the sinusoidal case (as will be shown in Section 3, the oscillation is due to the nonlinearity of the motor), for the purposes of this paper we can assume the supply voltages are sinusoidal. Under this assumption, we can get vq and vd as followsvq = Vmcos(N) ,vd = Vmsin(N) ,where Vm is the maximum of the sine wave. With the above equation, we have changed the input voltages from a function of time to a function of state, and in this way we can represent the dynamics of the motor by a autonomous system, as shown below. This will simplify the mathematical analysis.From Equations (5), (7), and (8), the state-space model of the motor can be written in a matrix form as follows = F(X,u) = AX + Fn(X) + Bu ,
