Overview

The Motor Control System (MCS) Development Tool Ecosystem enables rapid prototyping of motor control designs using the dsPIC® DSCs, SAM, PIC32MK, PIC32MC and PIC32C MCUs.  The MCS Development Tools consist of modular and interchangeable inverter boards, controller boards (Dual In-Line Modules or DIMs) and expansion boards.  DIMs and expansion boards must be purchased separately, see the links for the MC DIMs below. The MCLV-48V-300W Inverter Board is targeted to drive a low-voltage (12-48V) three-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) or Brushless DC (BLDC) motor up to 25A RMS continuous per phase at 25°C.

Motor Control DIMs:

  • Three-phase motor control power stage
  • Motor phase current feedback to implement Field Oriented Control (FOC) of a PMSM/BLDC motor
  • DC bus current feedback for overcurrent protection and to demonstrate a single shunt current reconstruction algorithm
  • DC bus voltage feedback for overvoltage protection and DC bus compensation
  • Phase voltage feedback to implement sensorless Back-EMF (BEMF) control or flying start (windmilling)
  • Optional analog sensor (e.g., thermistor) interface circuit
  • Hall sensor interface
  • Quadrature Encoder Interface (QEI) for an optical/incremental shaft encoder
  • MOSFET temperature measurement
  • Overvoltage and current protection circuits
  • PICkit™ On-Board 4 (PKOB4) for programming and debugging
  • Optional ICSP™ header for interfacing a Microchip programmer/debugger
  • 120-pin high-speed edge card connector to interface Dual In-Line Modules (DIMs) controller boards
  • User interface elements:
  • Two debug LEDs
  • Two push buttons
  • One potentiometer
  • MCU Reset push button
  • Fault Reset push button
  • Power-on status indication LED
  • Six PWM indication LEDs
  • Two dual row headers for interfacing Microchip Xplained Pro add-on boards or other user interface boards to extend the application functionality
  • On-board EEPROM for storing board or motor configuration information
  • Dynamic brake circuit to support regenerative braking applications
  • Auxiliary power supply to power the circuitry and external interfaces
