2. Terminology and abbreviations.
Below are presented the most important terms and abbreviations which are later used in this
document.
0x It denotes that we are using hexadecimal number. For example: 0xff means 255 in decimal
system, 0x1f means 31 (in decimal system).
AC Alternating Current
Commutation the action of applying currents or voltages to the proper electrical motor phases so
as to produce optimum motor torque at a motor's shaft
1
.
Commutation point It is a point where two phases produce equal levels of torque.
Compare match A comparison between some two registers, which gives the result as true if two
registers have the same value or false if they have different values.
DC Direct Current
IRC (Incremental Radial Counter) Sensor which makes measurement of relative position of the
rotor. The actual position of the motor can be calculated by the sum of pulses received form IRC.
Index A value which describes the actual position in some array. In this document the
points to the actual position in the phase table(s).
Index mark Starting point or point used to make synchronization of the rotating motor.
Phase table An array which contains values describing sinusoid or other function. It is used for
proper calculations of a voltage which should be sending to the motor to cause its rotation.
PXMC – (Pikron eXtensible Motion Control) Library for control different types of motors.
PXMC structure A data structure which contains all necessary parameters needed for rotation of
the motor.
PWM Pulse Width Modulation
