 MSP430 Applications

4/1/2011 13
 Brushed DC Motor
Stator has permanent magnets
Rotor has coil, creates EMF
Half rotation is sensed with,
commutator.
Actually AC motor.

4/1/2011 14
 Brushed DC Motor
2 Brushes still
short out
Still have 4 loops
of conducting

4/1/2011 15
 Brushless DC Motor
Coils on the Stator
Permanent Magnet on Rotor
Motor topology is
nondetermistic

4/1/2011 16
 Brushless DC Motor
Add more phases to stator
Run current through different phases.

4/1/2011 17
 Brushless DC Motor
Hall effect sensors detect
transitions from North to
South poles.
3 sensors provide binary
data. Never get 000
or 111 therefore use as
error codes.

4/1/2011 18
 Permanent Magnet Motor
AC Motor
Sinusoidal Windings on Stator
3-Phase: each winding coexists together

4/1/2011 19
 Permanent Magnet Motor
Field Oriented Control
Calculate the rotor flux
Calculate current of A,B,C windings to make current vector 90 degrees
of rotor flux.
Magnitude of current vector can be adjusted for different speeds
Used in applications where a small motor is needed
Uses less power than other motors

4/1/2011 20
 AC Induction Motor
Rotor and Stator both have windings
Asynchronous Motor
Magnetic field must rotate faster than rotor
Motor can slow down or slip
Field Oriented Control or V/Hz
16-bit microcontroller used for V/Hz
32-bit microcontroller used for FOC
Most popular motor in consumer
and industrial applications
