Abstract

A motor control system comprises a motor control circuit, a non-transitory storage medium and a processing circuitry. The storage medium is configured to store a current threshold profile that is indicative of a current requirement of the motor control circuit for an operational cycle of a motor. The processing circuitry is configured to adjust the stored current threshold profile based on a change to the operational cycle of the motor (e.g., from standard to non-standard).

Claims (30)

1. A method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor, the method comprising:

selecting sample points on a current profile, the sample points corresponding to positions of a folding partition during an operational mode of the electric motor;

averaging current values for the plurality of sample points;

determining a current multiplier for each of the sample points based on an expected load of the electric motor at a corresponding position of the folding partition;

determining a modifier for each of the plurality of sample points based on at least the current multipliers and the average current value; and

adjusting the current values for the plurality of sample points based on the modifiers.

2. The method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor of claim 1 , further comprising determining adjustment boundaries for each sample point.

3. The method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor of claim 2 , wherein the adjustment boundaries are based on one or more operational limits of the electric motor.

4. The method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor of claim 1 , wherein the current profile corresponds to one or more operational modes of the electric motor.

5. The method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor of claim 4 , wherein the one or more operational modes of the electric motor comprise a normal operational mode, an abnormal operational mode, and a transitionary operational mode.

6. The method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor of claim 5 , wherein the selected sample points on the current profile are associated with the transitionary operational mode.

7. The method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor of claim 1 , further comprising storing the adjusted current values for the plurality of sample points at a non-transitory machine readable medium.

8. The method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor of claim 1 , wherein the current profile comprises current requirements of the electric motor at positions of the folding partition.

9. The method of profiling a current requirement of an electric motor of claim 8 , wherein the positions correspond to positions of the folding partition while moved by the electric motor.

10. An electric motor current requirement profiling system, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory memory having stored thereon one or more executable instructions that, while executed by the processor, are configured to enable the processor to:

select sample points on a current profile, the sample points corresponding to positions of a folding partition during an operational mode of the electric motor;

average current values for the plurality of sample points;

determine a current multiplier for each of the sample points based on an expected load of the electric motor at a corresponding position of the folding partition;

determine a modifier for each of the plurality of sample points based on at least the current multipliers and the average current value; and

adjust the current values for the plurality of sample points based on the modifiers.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising determining adjustment boundaries for each sample point.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the adjustment boundaries are based on one or more operational limits of the electric motor.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the current profile corresponds to one or more operational modes of the electric motor.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the one or more operational modes of the electric motor comprise a normal operational mode, an abnormal operational mode, and a transitionary operational mode.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the selected sample points on the current profile are associated with the transitionary operational mode.

16. The system of claim 10 , further comprising storing the adjusted current values for the plurality of sample points at a non-transitory machine readable medium.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the current profile comprises current requirements of the electric motor at positions of the folding partition.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the positions correspond to positions of the folding partition while moved by the electric motor.
