Das Brushless 21 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die sich zur Steuerung bürstenloser Gleichstrommotoren (BLDC) mit jedem MCU eignet. Diese Platine verfügt über den AMT49400, einen fortschrittlichen 3-phasigen, sensorlosen BLDC-Motortreiber mit integrierten Leistungs-MOSFETs von Allegro Microsystems. Der AMT49400 ist für einen Betriebsspannungsbereich von 4 V bis 16 V ausgelegt. Die Motordrehzahl wird durch Anlegen eines Arbeitszyklusbefehls an den PWM-Eingang gesteuert, während eine einfache I2C-Schnittstelle zum Einstellen von Motornennspannung, Nennstrom, Nenndrehzahl, Widerstand und Startprofilen bereitgestellt wird. Darüber hinaus verfügt es über zusätzliche Diagnoseschaltungen und Antriebssteuerungsfunktionen wie Motorblockiererkennung und Überstrom-(Kurzschluss-)Schutz. Dieses Click Board™ ist die perfekte Lösung für Haushaltsgeräte wie Pumpen und Kühlventilatoren, Industrieanlagen und mehr.
Das Brushless 21 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 21 Click Board™ Work?
The Brushless 21 Click Board™ as its foundation uses the AMT49400, a three-phase BLDC controller with integrated MOSFETs from Allegro Microsystems. The integrated field-oriented control (FOC) algorithm achieves the best efficiency and dynamic response and minimizes acoustic noise. Also, Allegro's proprietary non-reverse startup algorithm improves startup performance. The BLDC motor, connected to the terminals labelled as U, V, and W, will start towards the target direction after power-up without reverse shaking or vibration. The Soft-On Soft-Off (SOSO) feature gradually increases the current to the motor at ON command (windmill condition). It gradually reduces the current from the motor at the OFF command, further reducing the acoustic noise and operating the motor smoothly.
The Brushless 21 Click Board™ allows interface selection to communicate with MCU. The selection between PWM and I2C interface can be made by positioning SMD jumpers labelled as COMM SEL to an appropriate position. Note that all the jumpers' positions must be on the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. While the I2C interface is selected, setting motor-rated voltage, rated current, rated speed, resistance, and startup profiles are allowed via the EEPROM programmability. On the other side, the motor speed is controlled by applying a duty cycle command to the PWM input pin of the AMT49400.
Alongside the PWM pin from the mikroBUS™ socket, this Click board™ also has the Enable pin labelled as EN and routed to the CS pin of the mikroBUS™ socket to optimize power consumption used for power ON/OFF purposes. The FG pin, routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, provides motor speed information to the system, such as motor lock detection. This feature monitors the motor position to determine if the motor is running as expected. If a lock condition is detected, the motor drive will be disabled for 5 seconds before an attempted auto-restart.
The Brushless 21 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VIO SEL jumper. It allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. Additionally, there is a possibility for the AMT49400 power supply selection via jumper labelled as VBB SEL to supply the AMT49400 from an external power supply terminal in the range from 4V to 16V or with 5V from mikroBUS™ power rail. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
