Overview
The Motor Control System (MCS) Development Tool Ecosystem enables you to rapidly develop motor control designs controlled by dsPIC® DSCs, SAM, PIC32MK, PIC32MC, and PIC32C MCUs. The MCS Development Tool Ecosystem consists of modular and interchangeable inverter boards, controller boards (Dual In-line Modules or DIMs), and Xplained Pro headers for user defined expansion. The MCHV-230VAC-1.5kW Motor Control High-Voltage Development Board is targeted to drive a three-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor or an AC Induction Motor (ACIM) in both sensored and sensorless operation.
This development board features a front-end single-stage Boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) to meet power regulatory requirements. The inverter board uses a three-phase Integrated Power Module device (IPM) that contains the motor inverter and the gate driver’s circuitry. The inverter circuit drives 3-phase motors using different control techniques without requiring any additional hardware. The IPM is capable of driving other types of motors and electrical loads that do not exceed the maximum power limit and are predominantly inductive. Furthermore, single-phase loads can be driven using one or two of the inverter outputs.
This board supports using either the internal op amps found on dsPIC motor control DSCs, or external op amps found on the inverter board for motor phase current sensing. Note that the MCHV-230VAC-1.5kW Development Board requires a compatible motor control DIM to be inserted to run motors. A dsPIC33AK128MC106 Motor Control DIM (EV68M17A) is included.
