Abstract

Disclosed herein is a motor control strategy of an electric shift-by-wire (SBW) system and is a method of performing PWM waveform simulation control in order to solve an impact/noise occurrence problem in a motor control process. A method of controlling the electric motor of an electric SBW system includes determining whether a current stage and a target stage are identical, rotating the motor in the direction of the target stage when the current stage and the target stage are not identical, performing motor OFF control when the current stage and the target stage are identical, performing reverse driving duty control when a difference between the current position and target position of the motor is less than a first setting value, and stopping the motor when the difference between the current position and target position of the motor is less than a second setting value.

Claims (18)

1. A method of controlling an electric motor of an electric shift-by-wire (SBW) system, the method comprising:

determining whether a current stage and a target stage are identical;

rotating the motor in a direction of the target stage when the current stage and the target stage are not identical;

performing motor OFF control when the current stage and the target stage are identical;

performing reverse driving duty control when a difference between a current position and target position of the motor is less than a first setting value; and

stopping the motor when the difference between the current position and target position of the motor is less than a second setting value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the motor comprises a switched reluctance (SR) motor.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the motor OFF control is performed in each of phases of the motor classified depending on shapes of a detent plate of the electric SBW system.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the reverse driving duty control, a duty and a period are determined based on speed of the motor.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein when an amount of motor speed is less than a third set value, first reverse driving duty control is performed.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein when the amount of motor speed is less than a fourth set value, second reverse driving duty control is performed.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second reverse driving duty control and the first reverse driving duty control are combined and performed.

8. A method of controlling an electric motor of an electric shift-by-wire (SBW) system comprising a switched reluctance (SR) motor, the method comprising:

performing motor OFF control in a motor ON state; and

performing reverse driving duty control based on a difference between a current position and target position of the motor and an amount of current motor speed in the motor OFF control.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the reverse driving duty control comprises:

determining whether the reverse driving duty control is to be started or ended based on the difference between the current position and target position of the motor, and

determining a duty ratio of the reverse driving duty control in proportion to the amount of motor speed.
