Chapter 1

Introduction

This user's guide describes the implementation of the sensorless motor-control software for 3-phase Permanent Magnet

Synchronous Motors (PMSM), including the motor parameters identification algorithm, on the NXP i.MX RT series crossover

processors. The sensorless control software and the PMSM control theory in general are described in design reference manual

DRM148

Sensorless PMSM Field-Oriented Control (FOC)

. The NXP Freedom (FRDM-MC-LVPMSM) is used as the hardware

platform for the PMSM control reference solution. The hardware-dependent part of the sensorless and sensored control software,

including a detailed peripheral setup and the Motor Control (MC) peripheral drivers, are addressed as well. The motor parameters

identification theory and algorithms are presented in this document. The last part of the document introduces and explains the

user interface represented by the Motor Control Application Tuning (MCAT) page based on the FreeMASTER run-time debugging

tool. These tools provide a simple and user-friendly way for the motor parameter identification, algorithm tuning, software control,

debugging, and diagnostics.

This document describes how to run and control the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) project using i.MX RT

Series Crossover Processors with the Freedom development board. The software provides sensorless/sensored field-oriented

vector position, speed, torque, and scalar control. You can control the application using the board buttons or via FreeMASTER.

The motor identification and application tuning is done using the MCAT tool integrated in the FreeMASTER page. The required

software, hardware setup, jumper settings, project arrangement, and user interface are described in the following sections. For

Hardware setup

The PMSM Field-Oriented Control (FOC) application runs on the FRDM-MC-LVPMSM development platform with the i.MX

RT1020-EVK, i.MX RT1050-EVKB, and i.MX RT1060-EVK development tools in combination with the Teknic M-2310P-LN

permanent magnet synchronous motor or with the i.MX RT1010-EVK development tool in combination with the Linix 45ZWN24-40

permanent magnet synchronous motor.

2.1 FRDM-MC-LVPMSM

This evaluation board, in a shield form factor, effectively turns an NXP Freedom development board or an evaluation board into

a complete motor-control reference design, compatible with existing NXP Freedom development boards and evaluation boards.

The Freedom motor-control headers are compatible with the Arduino™ R3 pin layout.

The FRDM-MC-LVPMSM low-voltage, 3-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) Freedom development platform

board has the power supply input voltage of 24-48 VDC with a reverse polarity protection circuitry. The auxiliary power supply

of 5.5 VDC is created to supply the FRDM MCU boards. The output current is up to 5 A RMS. The inverter itself is realized by a

3-phase bridge inverter (six MOSFETs) and a 3-phase MOSFET gate driver. The analog quantities (such as the 3-phase motor

currents, DC-bus voltage, and DC-bus current) are sensed on this board. There is also an interface for speed and position sensors

(encoder, hall). The block diagram of this complete NXP motor-control development kit is shown in Figure 1.

The FRDM-MC-LVPMSM board does not require a complicated setup. For more information about the Freedom development

platform, see www.nxp.com.

2.2 Teknic M-2310P motor

The Teknic M-2310P-LN-04K motor is a low-voltage 3-phase permanent-magnet motor used in PMSM applications. The motor

has two feedback sensors (hall and encoder). For information on the wiring of feedback sensors, see the datasheet on the

manufacturer web page. The motor parameters are listed in Table 2.

Figure 3. Teknic M-2310P permanent magnet synchronous motor

For the sensorless control mode, you need only the power input wires. If used with the hall or encoder sensors, connect also the

sensor wires to the NXP Freedom power stage.

The Linix 45ZWN24-40 motor is a low-voltage 3-phase permanent-magnet motor with hall sensor used in PMSM applications. The

motor parameters are listed in Table 3.

Figure 6. Linix 45ZWN24-40 permanent magnet synchronous motor

The motor has two types of connectors (cables). The first cable has three wires and is designated to power the motor. The second

cable has five wires and is designated for the hall sensors’ signal sensing. For the PMSM sensorless application, only the power

input wires are needed.

2.4 i.MX RT1010 Evaluation Kit

The MIMXRT1010-EVK is a two-layer low-cost through-hole USB-powered PCB. At its heart lies the i.MX RT1010 crossover MCU

in an 80LQFP package, featuring NXP’s advanced implementation of the Arm® Cortex®-M7 core. This core operates at speeds

of up to 500 MHz to provide high CPU performance and excellent real-time response. (Quick Start Guide)

Figure 7. MIMXRT1010-EVK board with highlighted jumper settings

The motor-control application requires the PWM and ADC signals to be connected from the MCU to the power stage. For a correct

connection, solder the R794, R793, R796, R795, R798, R797 resistors for PWMs and R1849, R1850, R1852, R1853, R1854

resistors for ADCs. These resistors are located on the both sides of the EVK board. For more details, see the schematic.
