1 Fundamentals of motor controlIndustrial & Power conversion TrainingAgenda1 Basic principle3 Three-phase brushless DC motor2 Brush DC motor4 Bipolar stepper motor2 Basic principleAnelectric motor isa device converting electrical energy into mechanical energy (generally a torque).This conversion is usually obtained through the generation of a magnetic field by means of a current flowing into one or more an electric motor isMechanicalenergyMotorElectricalenergy4 Rotor and stator magnetic fieldsThe rotation is obtained thanks to the attractive force between two magnetic fields: One field is located on the rotor (the moving part ).

2 The second magnetic field is located on the stator (the body of the motor ).BstaBrot RotationUsually one of the two is generated by a permanent magnet while the other one is generated through an electromagnet (solenoid).5 Magnetic field generationThe relation between electrical energy (current) and magnetic field generated by a solenoid (coil) is obtained through the following formula: = BIph6 Torque and load angleThe output torque of an electrical motor depends on the intensity of the rotor and stator magnetic fields and on their phase relation: sin( ) ( )The angle between the two magnetic field is named load maximum output torque, and then the maximum efficiency, is obtained when the load angle is 90.

3 BstaBrot Rotation7 Back electro-motive forceThe rotation of the rotor magnetic field (Brot) causes a variation of the magnetic flux in the an electro-motive force facing the flux variation is generated (Lenz s law).This effect is named back electro-motive force(aka BEMF) and it is proportional to the motor speed according to the formula:BstaBrotRotation = 8 The electric motor operation is based on the following points: At least one of the two magnetic field is generated by a solenoid carrying a current. Phase relation between the rotor and stator magnetic field ( the load angle) must be always greater than 0 in order to keep the motor in motion (negative angles reverse the rotation).

4 Output torquedepends to both solenoid currentand load angle. motor rotation causes a back electro-motive force opposing the motion principle9 Inductive loadAn inductive load ( motor phases included) can be represented as and LR series which stores energy in the form of a voltage to the load it is possible to change the amount of current stored into the and discharge of an inductive loadNOTE: i(0)is the starting current+VSLRi = + 0 scenario 1 (ON time)Inductance is charged applying a voltage:LRiScenario 2 (slow decay)Inductance is discharged shorting the leads: = 0 +VSLRi = + 0+ Scenario 3 (fast decay)Inductance is discharged applying a voltage:11 PWM current control basicsThe most common method to control the current is the fixed OFF timemethod.

5 It is a closed-loopapproach which implies the measurement of the controlled inductor is charged applying the bus voltage until the target value is reachedThe inductor is shorted (slow decay) for a fixed timeOFF timeBoth PWM frequency and duty-cycle changes according to the target current and boundary conditions.+VSLRiLRi12 Shunt resistorHow to read the load current? When the low side switch is ON, the load s current flows through the resistor positioned in-between the low side and the groundThe resulting voltage drop is proportional to the current: = This resistor is named shunt resistoror sense resistorLOADVS iloadRSENSEVSENSE13 Shunt resistorCurrent control sensingAccording to the current direction the drop on the sense resistor can be both positive or negative voltages requires specific signal conditioning simplest current control algorithms senses the current in one direction onlyLOADVS iloadRSENSEVSENSEIn some cases, the current doesn t flow into the shunt resistor even if the low side switch is on.

8 The magnetic field rotation is automatically obtained commutating the active coil through mechanical switches (brushes). The load angle is almost constant, and it is about 90 allowing the maximum efficiency (current vs. torque proportion). The motor is controlled applying a voltage on the motor leads. The higher the voltage, the higher the speed. The direction is changed reversing the polarity on the leads. The maximum torqueis limited by the current rating of the motor and it is obtained at zero speed (start-up). The maximum speedis limited by the supply voltage and it is obtained when no load torque is DC motor summary28 Three-phase brushless DC motorThere are different types of brushless motors.
