Abstract.In the present work we investigate the control system development of the drive simulators to train driver/operator driving skills, taking into account the ever-changing terrain. In order to meet the required response of the four degree-of-freedom motion platform servomotor current studies have been focused on the vector control of the resistance motor angular velocity from the sensor being incremental encoder. In proposed system the standard security of the frequency converter is realized. It leads to overload capacity of two times within minutes determined by servomotor inertia. Further, we represent the algorithms: positional limitation, reliable acceleration and restraint, frequency break.As well as we demonstrate the position switches implement in software. As a result, the control system commands the control of the angular position of the platform in coordinates.

The analysis of torque-speed characteristics of induction motors has been carried out in order to choose the base design for variable speed traction electric drives of underground mine electric locomotives. For constant dimensions of active part of series-produced electric motors the influence of the diverse conductivity’s materials for manufacturing the squirrel-cage rotor on speed-torque and speed-current characteristics. The designs are compared according to speed-up dynamics, power indexes and key design features of the studied electric motors.
