Introduction
This Application Note describes a 3-phase induction motor control software library developed for the ST7MC. This 8-bit microcontroller contains a peripheral dedicated to 3- phase brushless motor control, making it suitable for AC induction motors and permanent magnet DC/AC motors (PMDC/PMAC also called BLDC).
The library described here is made of several C modules that contain a set of convenient functions for the scalar control of AC induction motors and is compatible with COSMIC (www.cosmic-software.com) and METROWERKS (www.metrowerks.com) compilers. The control of a Permanent magnet motor in Six-step mode is detailed in application note AN1905. The control of a PMAC motor in Sine wave mode with sensors is detailed in application note AN1947.
