The identification of dynamic model parameters of the permanent magnet synchronous linear motors (PMSLMs) is the foundation of high-performance motor control. To address the low accuracy of modelling of PMSLMs, a parameter identification method of the PMSLM is proposed by using multi-innovation least squares (MILS) approach in this paper. The linear transfer function of the PMSLM is first built. Then the MILS approach based on the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is developed to identify the parameters of the built model. Finally, the simulation results of MILS and RLS algorithms are shown, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.
