In practical applications, precise tuning of current controllers is essential for achieving desirable dynamic performance and stability margins. Traditional tuning techniques rely heavily on accurate plant parameter identification. However, this process is often challenged by inherent nonlinearities and unmodeled dynamics in motor systems. To address this issue, this paper proposes a current loop parameter tuning algorithm based on open-loop frequency sweeping. As the swept Bode diagram reveals nonlinear factors typically neglected during modeling, it provides a basis for control parameter correction. A pulse-sine voltage injection method is first introduced to identify motor parameters, serving as initial values for the controller. By analyzing the magnitude and phase characteristics of the open-loop transfer function, the delay time constant in the high-frequency range can be accurately identified, and mismatched parameters in the low-to-mid frequency range can be corrected. This method does not rely on complex model structures or extensive online adaptation mechanisms. Experimental results on a mechanical test platform demonstrate that the proposed tuning strategy significantly enhances the current loop’s closed-loop bandwidth and dynamic performance.
