They havethe 3 heavy phase conductor leads coming out, but I don't recall a tach output. I could be wrong though. As you said, there are other ways. Control of the torque and speed of an induction motor doesn't require tach feedback. It can be done easily through current sensing. Vector (position) control is tougher to do this way (although reasonably practical if you have an accurate model of the motor's characteristics). |
