DC Motor Simulation for Electronic Control Unit Function Tests: Foundations, Concepts, Realization, Completition

The purpose of this work is to find out the possibility of simulating a direct current motor in order to get a replacement load for the control unit tests. Therefore several studies are done to find out the possibility to simulate the reaction of the DC Motor with the focus on the input voltage and current. Different Operation Modes were analyzed, Constant Load, Variable Load and Controller Unit Operation (Pulse With Operation). Simulations with MATLAB SIMULINK and PSPICE should show, how to simulate such a engine with software tools and how to check the functionality of hardware models. A step by step Guide shows, how the Motor Characteristic values can be determined to get the replacement elements for the Hardware model. The book is aimed at all those, which have to create such a model, or interested in electrical motors and their functionality.
