Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19944197A1] The invention relates to an electronically commutatable motor whose exciting windings, via semiconductor output stages, can be controlled by an electronic control unit using PWM control signals. A specified value can be given beforehand to the control unit and the control unit transmits corresponding PWM control signals to the semiconductor output stages. The aim of the invention is to enable, already during the run-up phase, the identification of faults, which can lead to an overloading of the motor and of the electronic components thereof, and to prevent an overloading. To these ends, the invention provides that after the pre-assignment of the specified value and/or after switching on the control unit and/or the semiconductor output stages, the control unit transmits PWM control signals, which increase the rotational speed of the motor in a ramp-like manner, to the semiconductor output stages during a predetermined or predeterminable run-up time until the final drive of the semiconductor output stages that corresponds to the specified value is reached. In addition, the invention provides that, during the run-up time, a specified rotational speed which corresponds to the PWM control signals can be compared to the measured actual rotational speed of the motor, and that the control unit and/or the semiconductor output stages can be switched off if the actual rotational speed differs from the specified rotational speed by a predetermined or predeterminable difference in rotational speed.
