PATRUCCO - VisSim: VisSim/Motion

VisSim/Motion is a block set that enables engineers to easily model and simulate motion control systems by using a pre-built motion component library. Simply select and connect your components, right click each and fill in dialog box entries with your parameters.
Then, with the push of a button, run a simulation and view the behavior of your system.

VisSim/Motion includes:
- Motors: AC induction, Permanent Magnet Brushless, Brush DC, stepper
- Controllers: AC induction Field Oriented Control, PWM single phase, dual phase and space vector, PID, six step commutator, stepper
- Sensors: frequency demodulator, Hall, encoder, LVDT, rotary servo potentiometer, rotary tachometer
- Transforms: Clarke, Park, inverse Clarke, inverse Park
- Loads: Rotational, translational
- Voltage sources: 3-phase sinusoidal, 3-phase square wave (inverter source)
- A comprehensive set of tutorials describing how to use VisSim/Motion for the modeling and simulation of AC induction and DC brushless motion control systems.

Position Control
Using Brushless DC Motor

"For any engineer involved in the design of motor driven systems, VisSim/ Motion provides an easy way to plan the design; both in the selection and sizing of components and overall system architecture. VisSim/Motion is a valuable tool for verifying that performance requirements will be met in advance of repeated prototype trials, thus saving considerable time and expense."
