Abstract
An elevator controller 7 is provided with logic 48 which automatically calculates a proportional gain (K.sub.P), an integral gain (K.sub.I), and an overall gain (Gc) for a current regulator/motor drive 20 by injecting a sinewave having a predetermined test frequency (F.sub.OL, F.sub.CL) into a reference current I.sub.qREF, measuring the open and closed loop transfer functions and adjusting K.sub.P and K.sub.I until the desired open and closed loop responses are achieved with Gc set based on F.sub.OL. First, with the test frequency at F.sub.OL, K.sub.I is set to zero and K.sub.P is varied until the open loop gain response at F.sub.OL is equal to one. Then, with the test frequency at F.sub.CL and K.sub.P set per the previous step, K.sub.I is varied until the closed loop gain response at F.sub.CL is equal to one. The procedure is performed with the rotor locked.
