Control Multiple Motor Types with Zilog Motor
Control Technology
 
To evaluate suitable driving methods for 3-phase BLDC, PMSM, or ACIM motors, Zilog has developed a comprehensive multiple motor type motor control kit that facilitates operation across these motors with differing control strategies so that you can choose a driver scheme that is most suitable for your application.

The MultiMotor Series Development Kit is built to allow an MCU module to be affixed to it for motor control methodology evaluation and development. Zilog’s Z16FMC, Z8FMC16100, and Z8051 MCU modules (sold separately) facilitate selection between terminal or hardware control of the motor and a number of driving schemes for its operation, plus the ability to monitor important motor parameters such as:
 
  • Temperature
  • Speed (RPM for trapezoidal commutation, frequency for sinusoidal commutation)
  • Current
  • Bus voltage
  • Total motor run time for maintenance-scheduling events
  • Direction of shaft rotation
  • Speed control (open or closed loop)
 
Motor Control Methodologies
 
Whichever motor control methodology you employ, monitor it with the following control driving schemes, all of which Zilog supports with corresponding application notes:
 
  • Sensorless 3-phase trapezoidal commutation
  • Hall sensor 3-phase trapezoidal commutation
  • Sinusoidal PWM commutation with Hall sensor feedback
  • Space vector modulation with Hall sensor feedback for BLDC motors
  • Space vector modulation ACIM machine commutation with the V/F principle
  • Single-shunt space vector control/FOC for ACIM using rectangular coordinates
  • Dual-shunt space vector control/FOC for ACIM using polar coordinates
 
Applications
 
  • Three-Phase BLDC Motors
  • Trapezoidal Hall Sensor vs. Sensorless Commutation
  • Space Vector Modulation
  • Field Oriented Control
