[1] Two new hands-on workshops coming to cities across North America!
Workshop attendance limited to lab stations available
Sensorless BLDC Control with Back-EMF Filtering Using a Majority Function
Microchip is rolling out an updated version of the popular sensorless BLDC hands-on workshop to many cities across North America. The revised workshop will feature the robust majority function algorithm for digitally filtering the Back-Electromotive Force (BEMF), eliminating the need for comparators and position sensors.
Each participant will work with the new [2] dsPIC33F-based dsPICDEM™ MCLV Development Board, along with Microchip’s Integrated Develop Environment, including visual tools for motor control development.

Sensorless Field Oriented Control for PMSM Motors
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) are often considered “exotic” or useful only for appliance applications plus perhaps a few niche markets. The reality is that PMSM motors have been gaining significant traction in a number of widely diversified applications. Like all motor types they have their pros and cons.

Advantages of PMSM motors include:

  • Excellent torque at low speeds
  • Small size
  • Lower Torque Ripple improves position control
  • Better Efficiency
  • Less heat generated
  • Compared to brushed motors, better EMI and reliability

    • Cons have been the cost of the motor and the cost and complexity of control. The PMSM motor consists of a magnetic rotor and wound stator construction. Having no bulky copper rotor windings saves weight, size and the cost of copper but adds the expense of magnets. This expense may be reduced in the future when key patents expire for the underlying rare earth-based magnet technology. The cost of control is reduced by employing low cost dsPIC Digital Signal controllers and (optionally) removing expensive sensors by incorporating back-EMF to calculate rotor position. Microchip has addressed the complexity issue by providing free libraries and dedicated motor control development tools.
