Overview
This reference design of a 3-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) sensorless vector control drive and a Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor drive without position encoder coupled to the motor shaft uses the NXP® 56F8013 with Processor Expert® software support.
- PMSM/BLDC motor are excellent choices for many appliances and industrial applications that require low cost and high-performance variable speed operation
- This design will employ sensorless FOC to control a PMSM and a sensorless algorithm to control BLDC
- The hardware design supports both motor types with the algorithms fully implemented digitally via software running on the 56F8013 DSC
Features
General:
- For PMSM the motor control algorithm employs Field-Oriented Control (FOC). The power stage switches are controlled by means of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM)
- The feedback hardware elements are limited to the motor stator phase currents and the bus voltage. No position information devices or stator flux measurement are used; sensorless speed methods are employed
- The Motor is capable of forward and reverse rotation and has a speed range of 500rpm to 6000rpm
- 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
