Control of the NBP linear drive system

Abstract The control of the linear motor of the NBP railway carriage is presented in this paper. The doubly fed long-stator linear motor is designed by means of modelling, according to mechatronic methods. Next steps in mechatronic design procedures are simulation, analysis and experimental validation. The presented motor propels a mechatronic railway carriage, which is also fitted with active suspension/tilt and support/guidance modules.
