This paper presents a cascaded control structure for a coreless tubular linear motor. The system includes position and speed loops employing PI controllers, and a current loop using Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC). This structure addresses challenges associated with low stator inductance, specifically its impact on current control. A simulation model was developed using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution in tracking the desired trajectory and minimizing the negative effects of low stator inductance on the current loop.
