CAN-based Synchronized Motion Control for Induction Motors

A control area network (CAN) based multi-motor synchronized motion control system with an advanced synchronized control strategy is proposed The strategy is to incorporate the adjacent cross-coupling control strategy into the sliding mode control architecture As illustrated by the four-induction-motor-based experimental results, the multi-motor synchronized motion control system, via the CAN bus, has been successfully implemented With the employment of the advanced synchronized motion control strategy, the synchronization performance can be significantly improved.
