dsPICDEM™ MC1 Motor Control Development Board
The MC1 Motor Control Development Board provides
the application developer with three main components
for quick prototyping and validation of BLDC, PMAC
and ACIM applications. The three main components
are: dsPIC30F motor control main board, 3-phase,
low-voltage power module and 3-phase, high-voltage
power module
The main control board contains the dsPIC30F6010
(but also supports all dsPIC
®
DSC motor control
variances), various peripheral interfaces and a custom
interface header system, which allows different motor
power modules to be connected to the PCB. The
control board also has connectors for mechanical
position sensors, such as incremental rotary encoders
and hall effect sensors, and a breadboard area for
custom circuits. The main control board receives its
power from a standard plug-in transformer.
The low-voltage power module is optimized for 3-phase
motor applications that require a DC bus voltage less
than 50 volts and can deliver up to 400W power output.
The 3-phase, low-voltage power module is intended to
power BLDC and PMAC motors.
The high-voltage power module is optimized for
3-phase motor applications that require DC bus
voltages up to 400 volts and can deliver up to 1 kW
power output. The high-voltage module has an active
power factor correction circuit that is controlled by the
dsPIC30F device. This power module is intended for
AC induction motor and power inverter applications
that operate directly from the AC line voltage.
