Abstract

A diagnostic system is disclosed for analyzing a limited rotation motor system. The diagnostic system includes a first transform unit, a second transform unit, a closed loop frequency response unit, and a diagnostic system. The first transform unit is for receiving a first digital signal that is representative of a motor control signal, and is for providing a motor control frequency domain signal that is representative of a frequency domain representation of the motor control signal. The second transform unit is for receiving a second digital signal that is representative of a position detection signal, and is for providing a position detection frequency domain signal that is representative of a frequency domain representation of the position detection signal. The closed loop frequency response unit is for identifying a representation of the frequency response of the limited rotation motor responsive to the position detection frequency domain signal and the motor control frequency domain signals. The diagnostic unit is for comparing the representation of the frequency response with a previously recorded representation of a prior frequency response to identify an error condition wit…
