Q: In the E-Bike scheme, how does FOC control manage battery voltage and current?
A: FOC is only responsible for motor control; the management of battery voltage and current depends on the functions of the BMS module.
Division of Responsibilities Between the FOC Module and BMS Module
FOC Controller
FOC (Field Oriented Control) → Its main responsibility is to precisely control the torque and speed of the motor. Its focus is on the current components (d-axis and q-axis) at the motor end and PWM drive, and it is not directly responsible for the health management of the battery end.
- Input: Rotor position (from sensor/sensorless estimation), current feedback
- Output: PWM signals to control the inverter and drive the motor
- Goal: Efficient and stable control of motor torque and speed
BMS Module
The management of battery voltage and current → It is mainly the responsibility of the BMS (Battery Management System). It is in charge of monitoring battery status (SOC, SOH), balancing cell voltage, limiting charging/discharging current, and providing overvoltage/undervoltage protection, etc.
- Input: Sensor data such as battery voltage, current, and temperature
- Output: Commands for limiting charging/discharging current, protection signals
- Goal: Protect battery safety, extend service life, and maintain voltage and current within a safe range
