In this paper we investigate the chaotic behaviors of the fractional-order permanent magnet synchronous motor（PMSM）.The necessary condition for the existence of chaos in the fractional-order PMSM is deduced.And an adaptivefeedback controller is developed based on the stability theory for fractional systems.The presented control scheme,which contains only one single state variable,is simple and flexible,and it is suitable both for design and for implementation in practice.Simulation is carried out to verify that the obtained scheme is efficient and robust against external interference for controlling the fractional-order PMSM system.
