Abstract

A motor simulator without requiring a motor is a testing motor controller used for inputting a driving signal according to a power supply driving signal, feeding back a status response of a dynamic calculator of the motor simulator, outputting a voltage and current reference command value required by the motor simulator to the motor simulator, so that the dynamic calculator and the electric power converter installed in the motor simulator generate a voltage and a current of an actual motor in an operating status. Therefore, the testing motor controller keeps converting and adjusting the electric energy for driving an operation of the motor simulator according to a status response fed back by the dynamic calculator of the motor simulator, so as to achieve a control function of the testing motor controller for testing the rotation speed and positioning of the motor.
