How to select values in QEP Speed Calculator block in Altair Embed ?

Hi there...I am using Teknic M2310P-LN-04K motor...in this motor incremental encoder is provided with 4000 counts/revolution and "QEP speed calculator" block is provided. In this block one has to provide three parameters...

1. Base Electrical frequency(Hz)=100

2.Control sampling rate(Hz)=15000

3. low pass cut off(Hz)=200

I need to know about 1 & 3....So Can you please describe on which factors it is selected...is there any formula for that ?

Hi Swapnil,

The following formula is used for Speed Calculation using linear encoders:

RPM = (Frequency * 60/Line count)

The QEP speed calculator block generates a per unit electrical shaft speed(fse)

fse = (nm *p)/60 Hz

which when multiplied by full scale scale speed gives actual shaft speed.

Here, the Base electrical frequency should be 6000 * 4 /60 = 400, if motor is rated as 6000rpm for maximum speed with 4 pole pair

Low pass cutoff frequency is used to place a pole for speed estimation and is mostly empirically chosen(200, 400)

However, here I am attaching another file for Speed Estimation which you can use in your diagram and you can see within the compound block the implementations using band pass filters (LPHPF) and Speedpole (2000Hz).

Dear Mayank,

Thanks for the help...It was helpful...

Can you please signify what is speed pole and why 2000 Hz value you have used here ?
