Overview
The 3-phase PMSM Vector Control using Quadrature Encoder on based on Kinetis® K40 MCUs reference design demonstrates the ability of the Kinetis K40 Arm® Cortex®-M4 MCU to drive the advanced motor control application.
- Targeted at the NXP® Tower® rapid prototyping system as a hardware development platform.
 - Together with available embedded source code, you can quickly build own industrial drive application.
 - For the successful execution of the vector control algorithm, the information on the motor shaft position is critical.
 - The quadrature encoder position information is known in the entire motor speed range, allowing the motor start with full torque at zero speed.
 
Features
- Vector control of the PMSM using the quadrature encoder as a position sensor
 - Targeted at the Tower® rapid prototyping system (K40 tower board, Tower 3-phase low voltage power stage)
 - Vector control with a speed closed loop
 - Rotation in both directions
 - Application speed range from 0% to 100% of nominal speed (no field weakening)
 - Operation via the user buttons on the Kinetis® K40 Tower board or via FreeMASTER software
