7.4.1 Observation

In the default set up, the current loop bandwidth is set up as 1/18 of the SAMPLING_FREQUENCY for both CMPLX_CNTLR and PI_CNTLR. As the bandwidth is increased, control becomes stiff and the motor operation becomes noisier as the controller reacts to tiny perturbations in the feedback trying to correct them, see the note below. The gain cross over frequency (or open loop bandwidth) can be taken up to 1/6 of the SAMPLING_FREQUENCY and still get good transient response over the entire speed range including higher speeds. If the motor rotation direction is reversed occasionally due to any malfunction, try restarting it by setting motorVars[0].runMotor to MOTOR_STOP and then MOTOR_RUN again. It may need some fine tuning in transitioning from lsw = ENC_WAIT_FOR_INDEX to lsw = ENC_CALIBRATION_DONE. This can be used as an exercise to fix it.

NOTE

The fast current loop is a high bandwidth controller. When the designed bandwidth is high, the loop gains can also be high. This pretty much ties the loop performance to the quality of current feedback. If the SNR of current feedback signal into the digital domain is poor, then the loop can be very audibly noisy as the controller tries to minimize the error. If the noise is bothersome, you may be required to reduce the bandwidth to avoid the audible noise.
