Description

The Renesas RH850/F1KM-S1 BLDC Starter kit V2 (Y-BLDC-SK-RH850F1KM-S1-V2) enables engineers to easily test and evaluate the performance of RH850/F1KM-S1 in a laboratory environment when driving a 3-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) using an advanced sensorless field-oriented control algorithm. Typical applications for this type of solution are compressors, air conditioning, fans, air extractors, pumps, home appliances, inverters, and industrial drives.

It is possible to drive the motor stand-alone with no PC connected by using the mounted encoder and the potentiometer. Some parameters can also be shown on the OLED display (not included).

The phase current measurement is done via three shunts, which offer a low-cost solution, avoiding the need for an expensive current sensor or hall sensor.

AI-generated Summary: The document details the implementation of field-oriented motor control using the Renesas RH850/F1KM-S1 Starter Kit V2, focusing on driving 3-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) with advanced control algorithms. It covers hardware components such as the high-speed IPS2550 position sensor, Hall sensors, and three shunt resistors for current measurement. The kit includes a 3-phase inverter powered by Renesas MOSFETs and an intelligent power device (R2A25108KFP) for efficient motor driving. It supports sensorless and sensor-based rotor position detection, with PWM control at 20 kHz and a control loop frequency of 10 kHz. The power stage uses discrete low-voltage MOSFETs with a maximum current of 50A and voltage of 40V. The document also explains speed limitations, hardware specifications, and software resources for motor control evaluation.
