PositionBasedAngle

A converter from the position using the pole pair count and the pole distance, to the electrical angle.

The PositionBasedAngle processing block can be found in the ‘Templates’ feature in the PMP installer.

A position-based angle processing block calculates the electrical angle from the position via the pole pair count and the pole distance.

Description

The implementation of the processing block is shown in Implementation of the PositionBasedAngle processing block.
