Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor Control Browse other Motor types AC Induction Motor Brush DC Motor Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Stepper Motor Switched Reluctance Motor This block diagram shows a system that could be used to drive a 3-phase brushless DC motor. Rotor feedback is required and is usually implemented as 3 hall-effect sensors that detect the position of the rotor magnets. A ‘sensorless’ method can be used to remove mechanical sensors by measuring voltage /current feedback. Find suitable Software, Tools & Training for BLDC Motor Control Application below BLDC Motor Tutorial Overview: Brushless DC motors are referred to by many aliases: Brushless Permanent Magnet, Permanent Magnet AC Motors, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors etc. The confusion arises because a brushless dc motor does not directly operate off a dc voltage source. However, the basic principle of operation is similar to a dc motor. A brushless dc motor has a rotor with permanent magnets and a stator with windings. It is essentially a dc motor turned inside out. The brushes and commutator have been eliminated and the windings are connected to the control electronics. The control electronics replace the function of the commutator and energize the proper winding.The windings are energized in a pattern which rotates around the stator. The energized stator winding leads the rotor magnet, and switches just as the rotor aligns with the stator. There are no sparks, which is one advantage of the brushless DC motor. The brushes of a dc motor have several limitations; brush life, brush residue, maximum speed, and electrical noise. BLDC motors are potentially cleaner, faster, more efficient, less noisy and more reliable. However, BLDC motors require electronic control. Key characteristics of the BLDC Motor: Heat is generated in the stator: Easier to remove and maintain. Rotor has permanent magnets Vs. coils thus lighter less inertia: Easier to Start/ Stop Linear torque/current relationship smooth acceleration or constant torque Higher torque ripple due to lack of information between sectors Low Cost to manufacture Simple, low-cost design for fixed-speed applications Clean, Fast and Efficient Speed proportionate to line frequency (50 or 60 Hz) Complex control for variable speed and torque How it works: The Brushless DC motor does not operate directly off a DC voltage source. The Brushless DC motor has a rotor with permanent magnets, a stator with windings and commutation that is performed electronically. Typically three Hall sensors are used to detect the rotor position and commutation is performed based on Hall sensor inputs. The motor is driven by rectangular or trapezoidal voltage strokes coupled with the given rotor position. The voltage strokes must be properly applied between the phases, so that the angle between the stator flux and the rotor flux is kept close to 90° to get the maximum generated torque. The position sensor required for the commutation can be very simple, since only six pulses per revolution (in a three-phase machine) are required. Typically, the position feedback is comprised using three Hall effect sensors aligned with the back-EMF of the motor. In sensorless control, back EMF zero crossing is used for commutation. BLDC Control BLDC Motor Six Step Control: Back EMF method Input: Typically torque, speed, position, and/or direction Inputs can be analog voltage, potentiometer, switches, or digital communications Control: Basic I/O for firmware bit-bang for 6-step 3 phase PWMs for hardware PWM Comparators for speed sensing in sensorless control, over-current detection Capture/Compare/PWM or input captures for speed sensing Feedback: Hall-effect sensors, optical encoder, or back-EMF voltage BLDC Design Flowchart: BLDC Motor Applications: BLDC Motor Applications include: Anti-lock Braking System Disk Drive Servo Throttle control Fuel pump Oil pump Back to Design Center Home BLDC Motor Application Example: Sensorless BLDC Sensorless motors are lower cost due to the lack of the sensors, but they are more complicated to drive. A sensorless motor performs very well in applications that don’t require the motor to start and stop. A sensor motor would be a better choice in applications that must periodically stop the motor. Want to eliminate your Hall-Effect sensors and cabling cost by going sensorless? Take a look at Microchip’s PIC18F The PIC18 MCU’s or dsPIC DSC’s A/D samples the motor phase voltages. From the voltages, the CPU determines the rotor position and drives the motor control PWM module to generate trapezoidal output signals for the 3-phase inverter circuit. Brushless DC Motor Application: Brushless Fan Control Need a highly integrated fan controller with a customizable speed/temperature profile? Take a look at Microchip’s PIC12HV and PIC16HV devices. The PIC12HV and PIC16HV devices have a built-in 5V regulator and on-chip comparator to save system cost. The rotor position is determined by a Hall-Effect sensor connected to the on-chip comparator. The Enhanced Capture Compare PWM (ECCP) Module uses this feedback information to drive the motor by steering the PWM signal to the appropriate motor phase. Temperature sensor inputs can be used to create a unique fan speed profi le and the application can provide digital status information to a host device. Back to Design Center Home
