Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A resonance method for a vibration system for resonant vibration of an excitation unit having a vibrating mass includes detecting a deflection of the vibrating mass, differentiating the deflection to form a velocity of the vibrating mass; generating from the deflection and the velocity a mechanical phase position; forming from the mechanical phase position a corrected phase position by using a correction value; forming, based on the corrected phase position, an electrical angular frequency with a P-regulation; integrating the electrical angular frequency to determine an electrical phase position; forming from the electrical phase position a correction factor by using a trigonometric function; and applying the correction factor to an excitation setpoint value to generate a corrected excitation setpoint value. Also disclosed are a converter, an excitation unit having the converter, and a vibration system having the excitation unit and the vibrating mass.
