To control screen door installed in the subway platform, geared BLDC motors have been being used. However, because of the geared mechanisms, the control profile of the screen door in slow speed is very poor. Moreover, geared mechanism tends to leads system malfunctions and low efficiency. To overcome those problems, in this paper, the techniques of developing hi-efficiency direct drive gearless PMAC motor controller and application example to control the screen door of subway platforms are proposed. The developed system has advantages that; the energy efficiency has been increased by adopting gearless PMAC motor; the system break-down factor has been decreased due to the actuator mechanism has been simplified. In this paper, the screen door control system structure, PMAC motor drive circuit design, implementations of vector control algorithm, and test results are shown.
