This paper introduces an encoder calibration system designed to enhance resolution and accuracy in interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) drives, complemented by customized embedded software. The system employs closed-loop control with the IPMSM drive, adjusting encoder resolution via gear ratio modifications. Communication between the human-machine interface (HMI) and the DSP’s internal 28x CPU utilizes a digital RS-422 interface. The embedded software running on the 28x CPU processes real-time data and presents calibration information on the HMI. Firmware integration encompasses external analog/digital converters, comparators, digital communication interfaces, high-accuracy encoders, original encoders, and additional gear ratio adjustments. Computed compensation values are stored in EEPROM. The TMS-320F28335 digital signal processor serves as the central control unit, facilitating encoder signal processing, embedded software execution, HMI operation, and IPMSM drive control. Experimental results confirm the feasibility of the proposed digitization approach, demonstrating its effective application in industrial control systems.

Mr. MELKAMU MEKONEN | climate change | Best Researcher Award

I’m Melkamu Kassaye Mekonen; I graduated with my BSc in Forest and Nature Conservation at Mekelle University in Ethiopia, and the University of Gondar in Ethiopia awarded me a MSc degree in Forest Management and Utilization. Currently, I serve as a researcher and instructor in the department of forestry and climate science at Injibara University, Ethiopia. I bring with me four years of research and five years of education, research, and community-based project experiences in the forestry, environment, and agricultural fields. My aspiration is to pursue a PhD in Forestry, focusing on natural forest optimization and ecological interaction and management of bamboo forest resources, either in China or Ethiopia, in collaboration with supervisors.
