Development of Microcontroller Based Speed Control Scheme of BLDC Motor Using Proteus VSM Software

Abstract

This paper presents a simple way of designing a low cost microcontroller based 3-phase trapezoidal backemf permanent magnet BLDC motor drive, its simulation and hardware implementation. This controller is intended to drive a BLDC motor at any desired speed and at any load within its rated value. Pulse width modulation (PWM) technique has been adopted for developing 120-degree sixstep BLDC motor control algorithm. The microcontroller PIC18F4331 is used to utilize its six dedicated PWM channels for energizing the 3-phases of the BLDC motor. This paper also introduces the application of Proteus VSM (Virtual System Modeling) software as a real-time simulation tool to model the performance of BLDC motor drive following hardware implementation. The Proteus VSM simulation environment is preferred since it enables direct implementation of the compiled program file to the microcontroller both for simulation and hardware model, thus reducing hardware development time. Experimental verification has been carried out to validate the simulated circuit.

Application in Virtual System Modelling (VSM) of Sensored Pm BLDC Motor Drive Using Two Technologies of Processors PIC16F877Aand Arduino Uno R3

“…The rotation of the BLDC motor requires position feedback of relative rotor position. Mostly used BLDC motor uses Hall sensors as the position feedback [8]. In order to produce a rotating field (driving torque), respective phases of the stator have to be turned on and off in sequence through the six switches (usually MOSFET or IGBT) of the three-phase full-bridge BLDC motors are a type of synchronous motor.…”

Intelligent fuzzy sliding mode controller based on FPGA for the speed control of a BLDC motor

“…Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are increasingly gaining importance in various application fields such as aerospace, automotive, medical, industrial and consumer equipment, machine tool drives, fans in HVAC and refrigeration [1].They are much preferred over conventional induction machines due to their lower inertia allowing for faster dynamic response to reference commands, lower maintenance due to the elimination of mechanical commutator and higher efficiency provided by the use of permanent magnets which results in virtually zero rotor losses [2][3]. The BLDC motors are highly preferred over brushed DC motors in high torque to weight ratio applications due to their high power density [4][5].…”
