Overview
This drive application allows vector control of an AC Induction Motor (ACIM) running in a closed-speed loop without a speed/position sensor at a low cost and serves as an example of AC induction vector control drive design using an NXP® 56F8013 with Processor Expert® software support.
- ACIM is ideal for appliance and industrial applications
- This design uses sensorless FOC to control an ACIM using the 56F8013 device, which can accommodate the sensorless FOC algorithm
- The motor control system is flexible enough to implement complex motion protocols while it drives a variable load.
- The system illustrates the features of the 56F8013 in motor control
Features
General:
- The motor control algorithm employs Stator-Flux-Oriented Control (SFOC)
- Power stage switches are controlled by Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM)
- No position information devices or stator flux measurement are used, a sensorless speed method is employed
- The motor is capable of forward and reverse rotation and has a speed range from 50rpm to 3000rpm
- The user controls motion profiles, rotation direction, and speed. The RS-232 communication supports further R&D by enabling the easy tuning of control parameters
- The motor drive system is designed to create minimal acoustic noise
- Active power factor correction which reduces the negative effects of the load on the power grid in conducted noise and imaginary power
- Design is low cost
