1) We need to estimate the desired current waveform on each phase for the
instantaneous rotor position (we need to find!!!) of the PMBLDC motor such
that the desired current should satisfy Maximum torque at minimum current
(MTMC) principle.
2) The desired current waveform should be given to the phases through the
drivers. Drivers are usually build up of six transistors(T1 to T6). Based on the
desired current (Positive / Negative) on the phases we will switch on the
transistors T1 to T6.
3) Usually the rotor position will be sensed by 3 HALL sensors displaced by 120
degree. This type of control is called sensor control . If we measure the rotor
position by the measuring the Back EMF induced in the stator winding we don’t
need any Hall sensors . This type of control is called sensorless control.
Steps to be followed to control the PMBLDC motor
Control circuit of PMBLDC motors
The circuit was designed by PSIM software.
Position feedback takes care of Field Oriented Control (FOC) (i.e, maintaining 90 degree angle
between rotor magnetic field and stator magnetic field) by switching appropriate transistors.
Speed feedback is used to maintain the speed of the motor as per the reference speed given.
