Das Brushless 9 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die BLDC-Motoren mit jedem MCU steuert. Diese Platine verfügt über den TC78B027FTG, einen 1-Hall-Sinus-PWM-Controller für dreiphasige bürstenlose Gleichstrommotoren von Toshiba Semiconductor. Es vereinfacht die Motorauswahl durch die Verwendung von nur einem Hall-Sensor-Eingang, der entweder mit einem einzelnen Hall-Sensor-Motor oder den konventionelleren 3 Hall-Sensor-Motoren verwendet werden kann. Darüber hinaus bietet es einen energiesparenden und leisen Motorbetrieb, der einen nichtflüchtigen Speicher und eine Drehzahlregelungsfunktion mit geschlossenem Regelkreis umfasst. Dieses Click Board™ bietet optimale Betriebseffizienz in Anwendungen wie Hochgeschwindigkeits-Serverlüftern, Gebläsen und Pumpen.
Das Brushless 9 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Brushless 9 Click Board™ Work?
The Brushless 9 Click Board™ is based on the TC78B027FTG, a 1-Hall sine-wave PWM controller for three-phase brushless DC motors from Toshiba Semiconductor. The TC78B027FTG simplifies the motor selection by using only one Hall sensor input that can be used with either a single Hall sensor motor or the more conventional 3 Hall sensor motors. It can be operated by 1-Hall sine-wave commutation and 1-Hall 150° commutation, which can be switched by register configuration. Also, a closed-loop speed control function is implemented without using an external MCU. The closed-loop control function regulates motor rotational speed fluctuations caused by changes in power supply voltage and load. The TC78B027FTG also has some protection features such as thermal shutdown, overvoltage and overcurrent protection, lock detection, and many more.
For Normal operation, it is necessary to apply the voltage in the range from 9V to 16V to the external connector labeled as VM and to connect Hall signals from the BLDC motor through the J1 header on the left side of the board. The operation moves to the Standby mode when a zero cross of the Hall signal is not detected for a lock detection period after the voltage of 1V or less is applied to the SPD pin. In the Standby mode, the power consumption is reduced by powering off its internal 5V regulator. The TC78B027FTG also drives six external N-CH MOSFETs, the SSM6K513NU from Toshiba Semiconductor, that run the connected Brushless DC Motor. For this type of application, more precisely for Brushless Click boards that require BLDC Motor with Hall Sensor for their work, Mikroe offers its users just one such motor, whose offer you can find here.
The Brushless 9 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using several GPIO pins. The DIR pin, routed on the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, is used to select the direction of motor rotation, while the motor braking function is available on the CS pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labeled as BRK. The TC78B027FTG has several braking functions: Motor OFF, Short Brake, Reverse Brake, Mild Brake. On the other hand, functions such as Motor START, Motor STOP, and Rotation Speed can be set using the SPD pin routed on the PWM pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, where the PWM duty signal and the polarity of this signal can be configured by the register.
If any of the previously mentioned critical conditions (such as over current, over temperature, motor lock) occur, the TC78B027FTG will signal such a phenomenon using an LED diode labeled as ALERT connected to the interrupt pin marked as INT on the mikroBUS™ socket. Besides, it is possible to detect the occurrence of motor lock events where the indication of such a condition is performed using the LED indicator labeled as FG routed on the AN pin of the mikroBUS™ socket.
NOTE: Pins such as FG, SPD, and INT can also be used as serial interface pins, where FG can be used for SDI or SIO signal, SPD for SCK signal, while INT can be used as SDO signal in case of 3-wire SPI communication. In case the SDO line is not used, INT retains its ALERT function.
The Brushless 9 Click Board™ is designed to be operated with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels that can be selected via VCC SEL jumper. This allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use communication lines properly.
