HPM5300_RDC

Depend on SDK1.10.0

Overview

High performance motor control applications traditionally require a speed or position sensor for control loop feedback. The position feedback link has a critical impact on the performance of the system. Rotary transformers have become popular Angle sensors due to their advantages such as impact resistance, high temperature resistance, oil pollution resistance, high reliability, and long life.

At present, most of the existing rotary solutions in the market are discrete, with high BOM cost and large board area.

In order to simplify the design, HPM provides a functional rotary decode board integrating excitation op amp circuit, boost DC-DC chip, analog front end, rotary digital converter, rotary signal loss detection and multiple format data (position/speed) output interface.

RDC theory

• rotary signal

The rotor is composed of a rotor and a stator core. The middle rotor is composed of a laminated magnetic steel plate. The stator core is equipped with a single-phase excitation coil winding (R1-R2) and a two-phase output coil winding (S1-S3,S2-S4). When the excitation coil is excited by AC voltage, according to the transformer principle, there is a corresponding AC voltage on the output winding.

• operating principle - integral demodulation

Integral demodulation can be divided into two processes: shaping and integration.

（1）shaping：

The sines and cosines of the output of the rotary transformer are multiplied by the sign function of the same frequency as the excitation signal

（2）integration：

The shaping results over the excitation period are integrated

After shaping and integration, the high frequency excitation signal is removed, and the demodulation signal containing the rotor information is obtained.

From the working principle, integral demodulation requires a high sampling rate, and the integration process has certain requirements on the computing rate of the processor.

• position acquisition method

（1）arctan

Arctangent method is the most simple and direct method to solve the rotor Angle.

The arctangent function has a relatively large slope at the zero crossing, and a small interference in the output signal will cause a large Angle solution error. Therefore, arctangent is mostly used in situations where noise and accuracy are not required.

(2)Closed-loop Angle observer -PLL

It is mainly composed of phase discriminator (PD), loop filter (LF) composed of PI controller and voltage control oscillator (VCO) composed of integration.

The phase discriminator is used to generate a signal containing the phase deviation between the real Angle and the estimated Angle;

The loop filter uses PI controller to suppress noise interference, which determines the dynamic performance, tracking performance and stability of PLL. Its output is the rotor angular frequency.

A VCO is used to integrate angular frequencies to produce an estimated Angle value.

(3)TYPE_II loop tracking

TYPE_II loop tracking consists of three parts, integrator 1, filter compensator (one pole, one zero), integrator 2. The integrator is used to generate the Angle output from the velocity signal, and the filter is used to reduce the high frequency noise.

hardware solution

The overall scheme of RDC is shown in the figure below:

HPM5300RDC board has the following functions: two ADC, one uart, one spi, two DAC, QEO output, SEI master/slave, LED display, etc.

HPM5300RDCschematic diagram: 《HPM5300_RDC_REVB》

software solution

The software solution is mainly composed of the following parts:

pwm generates excitation signals, ADC samples, sei module obtains absolute encoder position information, three position/speed calculation methods (PLL_II/PLL/ arc-cut), incremental encoder simulation output (A_guad_B format), two data communication (uart/spi).

The sei module is used as the host to compare the obtained RDC Angle with the absolute encoder Angle for error analysis.

sei module can also be used as a slave. When used as a slave, there are bissc and TAMAGAWA output modes.

TEST

The test of this scheme is divided into three parts:

(1) Hardware test: pwm modulated sinusoidal differential signal (EXC_P/EXC_N), rotary sinusoidal winding signal (OSIN/OCOS) (2) Data output test: uart, spi,abz,bissc and TAMAGAWA (3) Error test: Angle error, speed fluctuation

error test

The Angle error test is based on the above motor driven platform, and the Angle difference is obtained by comparing the Angle of the rotary decoding board with the Angle of the absolute value encoder under steady speed.

There are three ways to calculate the Angle in the rotary decoding board: arctangent, pll,pll_ii; There are two corresponding speed calculation methods: the speed information is obtained based on the change of the fixed reading Angle, the speed information is directly output by the pll module ,and the speed information is directly output by the pll_ii module.

The speed fluctuation test is also based on the motor driven platform mentioned above, and the given speed at steady speed is compared with the sampling speed.
