5. Motor Control Theory

5.1 Introduction

The most common method used to control DC motors is to modulate the voltage and especially

the duty cycle. This is called the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (S.V.P.W.M).

At first, this application note describes the S.V.P.W.M technique and then how to implement

BLDC motor control algorithm on AVR32 UC3 devices.

5.2.1 Phase Switching

Figure 5-1. Typical structure of the application

Figure 5-1 shows the typical structure of a BLDC motor connected to a Voltage Source Inverter.

Since the motor is considered as a balanced load with an unconnected neutral,

then

For this three phase power inverter, there are eight possible switching states.

It implies as well that switching configuration tables could be expressed in (d-q) format

Each space vector corresponding to WH,VH and UH could be expressed as a combination of

Vds and Vqs (vector list in Figure 5-2). This mean for example (WH,VH,UH)=(1,0,0)=V5

5.2.3 Stepping increment and sampling frequency

In this case, it is possible to define any stator voltage as:

With

As shown in Figure 5-3, the angle decomposes every step of Space Vector computation algo-

rithm. As the expression of stator voltage is identical in all the 6 sectors, it is possible to only

compute equation (1) and (2).

But, every step in computation is given for a angular frequency (in cycles/sec) :

The Ftick is defined as the sampling frequency or the basic frequency of the application. n is the

angle stepping increment from the range

For example, with a frequence of tick equal to 20KHz and a resolution up to 8 bits,it is possible

to define a step range from [0;78] thus an angle precision of 0.77 degree.

As the UC3 family has DSP instructions support, the sinus and cosinus computation will be done

in software for SVPWM and not with a lookup table. Thus, it is possible to define a specific reso-

lution for an application.

6. Motor Control Processing computations

6.1 Flow Chart Diagram

From the SVPWM technique, it is possible to distinguish several actions:

• Sector Determination

•PICorrector

• Space Vector Computation

Before starting application development, it could be interesting to consider clock source

reference:

• Sector Determination: at every hall sensors interrupt a new sector position is reached. So

that means that this interrupt should trigger a task that compute Sector Determination

Algorithm (electrical position of stator).

• Space Vector Computation

Here is the flow chart diagram for the process in this application.

Figure 6-1. Flow chart diagram

Task #1

Every ‘Period regulation’ period the corrector (Proportionnal and Integer: P.I) is executed and

updates amplitude factor used by the S.V.P.M.

Task #2

Every ‘tick’ period in the Space Vector calculation is computed.

6.2 Space Vector Modulation

For an efficient implementation of SV-PWM, we use DSP library for cosinus and sinus

computation.

Once dx and dy are calulated, a set of 3 compare values Ta,Tb and Tc need to be calculated

every PWM period to generate this pattern.

We can say that for this sector 0:

The Table 6-1 shows all duty cycle values for each sector number. For a sector number the duty

cycle for the six half bridge is expressed by:

UH = PWM0 and UL = T-(PWM0)

VH = PWM1 and VL = T-(PWM1)

WH = PWM2 and WL = T-(PWM2)

The two rotating directions are described. In case of CCW direction, that means the rotor follows

the sequence Sector number = {6,5,4,3,2,1} and in case of CW direction, the sequence

{1,2,3,4,5,6}.
