Design of deep sea remote motor control system based on STM32F103

Where rs is the phase resistance of the stator winding , Lms and L Is are the excitation inductance and leakage inductance of the stator winding respectively, r is the rotor electrical angle, and Φm is the flux generated by the permanent magnet. From formula (2), it can be seen that the flux of the three-phase stator is mutually coupled, and they are all functions of the rotor position, which brings difficulty to control.

In the 1970s, Siemens engineer F. Blaschke first proposed the vector control theory to solve the torque control problem of AC motors, which greatly improved the characteristics of AC motors. Vector control uses the vector transformation method to decouple the magnetic flux and torque control of AC motors, making the control of AC motors equivalent to that of DC motors. In Figure 2, the three-phase static abc coordinate system is transformed into a rotating dq coordinate system using the coordinate transformation theory, where the d axis is the direction of the fundamental magnetic field of the permanent magnet rotor, and the q axis leads the d axis by 90 electrical degrees along the direction of rotation. The rotation speed of the rotor reference coordinate is the rotor speed. The stator voltage equation and flux equation on the dq coordinate axis are simplified to:

The electromagnetic torque of the surface mounted PMSM can be calculated as follows, where P is the number of pole pairs of the motor:

Substituting equation (4) into equation (5), and knowing that Ld = Lq of the surface mounted PMSM, the electromagnetic torque expression can be finally obtained as:

From formula (6), it can be seen that controlling the q-axis current of the stator can control the electromagnetic torque of the motor.

2.4 IPM power drive and current sampling module

The power part of this design uses the FSBB20CH60 IPM module of FAIRCH ILD. The maximum working voltage of the MOS tube integrated in this power intelligent module is 600 V, the maximum working current is 20 A, it has a strong self-protection circuit, and has one fault output. The use of the power module not only reduces the size of the system, but also has stronger reliability than the solution of using the power tube plus the driver chip. The three-phase voltage outputs U, V, and W of FSBB20CH60 are connected to the ABC phases of PMSM respectively. Nu, Nv, and Nw are the lower half-bridge outputs of the three half-bridges, and are connected to the current sampling resistors respectively, with a resistance of 15m#. Now take the U phase as an example to illustrate the current sampling method. As shown in Figure 5, Nu and N terminals are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the operational amplifier respectively. Since the phase current may flow into the winding or out of the winding, the voltage signal is positive or negative. The ADC input voltage range of STM32F103 is 0 V to 3.3 V, so an offset voltage VOFFSET is required. The current calculation method is shown in formula (7).

Where R158 = R159 = 3.9 kΩ, R152 = R153 = 1 kΩ, simplifying to get equation (9), and then substituting equation (10) to get the value of current IU.

2.5 Optocoupler Isolation RS232

In order to prevent the motor control system from damaging the data coupling communication module due to high voltage breakdown, optocoupler isolation measures are taken between the STM32F103 microcontroller and the data coupling communication module. The schematic diagram of optocoupler isolation RS232 is shown in Figure 6. The isolation chip uses 4N35 . Due to the speed limitation of the optocoupler device and the small amount of data to be transmitted, the communication rate of RS232 is set to 9600 baud.

2.6 STM32F103 microcontroller

ST's STM32F103 controller uses ARM's latest Cortex M3 core, which implements 1-25DM IPS/MH z on Harvard structure, 3-stage pipeline with branch instruction prediction, Thumb 2 instruction set, and the highest operating frequency can reach 72MH z. STM32F103 integrates an advanced timer TIM1 on the chip, which can output six complementary PWM waves with dead zone and has input interrupt function. When overcurrent occurs on the power device, the interrupt function is used to turn off the PWM output to protect the power device. The motor control software flow chart is shown in Figure 7.

2.7 DC/DC and power management module

The DC/DC power supply reduces the 1 kV power voltage on the coaxial cable to the 300 V operating voltage of the motor and generates a 15 V voltage for the FSBB20CH60 power module, which is the gate drive level of its integrated MOS tube. The power management module uses LM7805 and LM1117 to further reduce the 15 V voltage to generate a 3.3 V voltage for the STM32F103 microcontroller and other devices in the control system.

3 System Testing

The power supply of the water part adopts a high-performance regulated DC power supply to reduce ripple interference, and the output voltage is 1 kV. The motor load gradually increases, and the experimental data is shown in Table 1. Among them, Us, Is and Ps are the output voltage, current and power of the regulated DC power supply, respectively, and U1, I1 and P1 are the output voltage, current and power of the DC/DC module, respectively. The experimental results show that from no-load to close to the rated power range, STM32F103 can normally receive the start-stop, acceleration and deceleration instructions sent by the host computer through the RS232 isolated by optical coupling, and the motor runs well. It can be seen that the normal communication on the coaxial cable is not affected when the motor is running, which meets the design requirements.
