Need support for Closed loop motor speed controller
PostPosted: Sun Nov 20, 2011 1:26 am     Reply with quote

Hi,

At first I express my apology to post it here. But I'm learning CCS C and going to buy it due to its easiness so I thought I would post it here.

Anyway, my interest is actually to build a closed loop (AC/Universal) motor speed controller. Since I'm new to PIC, I need help from the PIC/CCS expert.
I'm ready to pay for your help and support. Please PM me if you can help.

Look at the Microchip website. They have large numbers of motor
control PDF tutorials. Check out their motor design center page:

??
110v ??
how much current at 110v - unrestricted I input?

re servo -
attempting to go sensor less ?
or do you have hall/opto interrupters?

It is not a servo but a single phase brushed AC (110/220V) motor and some people calls it universal AC motor.

I have drawn a basic schematic of the speed controller. Pls take a look.



Few words about the schematic:

1. I plan to use (28 pin) PIC18F2420 or 2520 and the circuit will be opto isolated from AC mains.

2. PS2505 multi-photocoupler will be used for zero cross detection. I might be used a selector for 50Hz/60Hz selection.

3. Output will be driven by the MOC3021/23, which will then trigger the triac.

4. The motor usually rotates at 25K RPM with full power. A pot will be used to control the speed between 5k to 25K. Reference voltage (for speed pot) will be 0v - 5v.

5. A reflective sensor (HOA1397) will be used in the motor for rotation count and RPM will be displayed. The same sensor will be used as feedback loop to maintain a constant speed. May be some PID algorithm need to be used. 2-5% speed variation is ok for the application.

Just an illustration:
The (220v/5A) motor is referenced for 5k RPM so it is rotating in the same speed at without load. But the speed will reduce as soon as I put some load on it. MCU will recalculate the revolution at this point and provide more power to maintain the referenced speed.

Hope above explanation will help.

Tachometer

Here is the tacho part.
Would you pls check if the calculations are right...do you think I'll get right RPM?
Code:
