This letter investigates real-time implementation of a finite-time control for permanent magnet synchronous motors in the presence of external load disturbance. Firstly, an integral terminal sliding manifold is designed to achieve fast speed, high precision performance, and to enhance the quality of currents by reducing the total harmonic distortion. Indeed, the proposed surface manifold ensures a finite-time convergence of the speed state variable. Secondly, a switching control scheme is added for the system control to force the state systems to converge to their desired values in the presence of load disturbance. Finitetime stability is proved based on Lyapunov theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed controller is validated by carrying out real-time experimental studies using eZdspTM F28335 board. According to the experimental results, the proposed controller is easy to implement, improves tracking accuracy, reduces the chattering issues and ensures robustness against external load disturbance.
