PWM Motor Speed Control Circuit with Diagram for DC Motor. Description. Here is a simple PWM motor speed controller circuit that can be used for varying the speed of low power DC motors. The variation in speed is achieved by varying the duty cycle of the pulse supplied to drive the motor. Of the two gates of IC CD4. B, N1 is wired as an inverting Schmitt Trigger astable multi vibrator for producing pulses and N2 as an inverting buffer to drive the transistor during positive cycles at base. The duty cycle is set from resistor R2. R1 limits the base current of transistor SL 1. The circuit is ideal for controlling toy motors,hand held mini fans, small blowers etc. PWM Motor Speed Control Circuit Diagram with Parts List.

Introduction. You can learn how to build h bridges from many on and off line resources. After all these circuits are not terribly complicated. Some of those resources are good, some are not so much. However when Ive started working with them, Ive realized that many of my experiences were not documented and some of the things Ive learned seemed to be missing from those descriptions. So I decided to write down what Ive learned and try to organize that description into an easy to understand yet comprehensive structure. This work started off as a three part series Ive written, while developing the Module H bridge. While the current material is based on those articles, it corrects many errors and is expanded and updated greatly. My intention is to cover more ground than most articles Ive seen on the subject. While I dont expect the you, dear reader, to be familiar with h bridges or motors controllers in general, I do build upon basic electrical circuit understanding. So if you dont know what a resistor, an inductor or a capacitor is, if you dont understand at least the basics of time and frequency domain circuit analysis, youre not reading the right article. You probably wont be able to follow the discussion. But if youre interested in motor control background information, if you want to understand the reasons behind design decisions, if you want to gain deeper knowledge not just in the h bridges, but in what goes on before and after them, you have found your place. My plan is to eventually expand these articles to cover not just h bridges but control circuits and electromechanical systems as well.

In general an H bridge is a rather simple circuit, containing four switching element, with the load at the center, in an H like configuration The switching elements Q1. Q4 are usually bi polar or FET transistors, in some high voltage applications IGBTs. Integrated solutions also exist but whether the switching elements are integrated with their control circuits or not is not relevant for the most part for this discussion. The diodes D1. D4 are called catch diodes and are usually of a Schottky type. The top end of the bridge is connected to a power supply battery for example and the bottom end is grounded. In general all four switching elements can be turned on and off independently, though there are some obvious restrictions. Though the load can in theory be anything you want, by far the most pervasive application if H bridges is with a brushed DC or bipolar stepper motor steppers need two H bridges per motor load. In the following I will concentrate on applications as a brushed DC motor driver. Static Operation. The basic operating mode of an H bridge is fairly simple if Q1 and Q4 are turned on, the left lead of the motor will be connected to the power supply, while the right lead is connected to ground. Current starts flowing through the motor which energizes the motor in lets say the forward direction and the motor shaft starts spinning. If Q2 and Q3 are turned on, the reverse will happen, the motor gets energized in the reverse direction, and the shaft will start spinning backwards. In a bridge, you should never ever close both Q1 and Q2 or Q3 and Q4 at the same time. If you did that, you just have created a really low resistance path between power and GND, effectively short circuiting your power supply. This condition is called shoot through and is an almost guaranteed way to quickly destroy your bridge, or something else in your circuit. Because of this restriction from the four possible states the side A switches could be in only three make sense Q1. Q2openopencloseopenopenclose. Similarly for side B Q3.

We will get into much more detail in a minute, but before we do, lets spend a few minutes understanding the basics of our load, the DC motor. Motor model. While modeling DC motors is a complicated topic, one that you can read on extensively here, for this article, lets just start with a very simple model This model will not be useable for control applications, where you try to electrically compensate for the effects of mechanical components. The main assumption in the model introduced here is that the mechanical time constants in your system are much higher than the electrical ones, in other words we can consider the shaft speed to be constant for our analysis. Thats true in almost all cases, but youll need to read other articles to understand why. For now, youll have to take my word for it. A DC motor is an energy conversion device it takes electrical energy and turns it into mechanical energy. How To Bsnl Landline Duplicate Bill Copy. When operated as a generator, it does the opposite converts mechanical energy into electrical. In this very simple motor model, the mechanical parameters are completely ignored. On the electrical side, the motor basically contains a number of inductors, that move in a magnetic field. The inductors themselves of course have an inductance, and some internal resistance. Their movement in the field will generate a voltage called generator voltage and denoted by Vg across the inductors. From this description, the following model can be drawn In fact in many cases, the internal resistance of the inductors can be disregarded, and an even simpler model, an ideal inductor in series with a voltage source can be used In both cases, all the elements are in series, so the share the same current, but the voltage across them of course is different. The generator voltage Vg depends only on the speed by which the inductors move in the field, in other words on the rotational speed of the motor. The force or torque in a rotational system, like a DC motor these electromagnets inductors exert is proportional to the current flowing through them. Drive modes. Previously weve only considered static operation, when nothing was changing. If less than full speed operation is intended the switches are controlled in a PWM fashion. A PWM signal has two phases, the on time and the off time as Im calling them in the diagram below It is a periodic signal, with a constant frequency. The information content that is used to change the operating parameters of the bridge is the ratio between the on time and the off time. The various drive modes differ in how the switches are set during the on time and the off time. If we want the motor to do anything interesting, we will have to connect it to the power supply in at least one of the phases. Lets say it is the on time. We have two choices either we turn on Q1 and Q4 or we turn on Q2 and Q3. But what about the off time We have nine states to chose from. These are Q1. Q2. Q3. Q4closeopenopenopencloseopenopenclosecloseopencloseopenopencloseopenopenopencloseopencloseopenclosecloseopenopenopenopenopenopenopenopencloseopenopencloseopen. If you look back at our motor model, youll see that its basically an inductive load. Inductors have the property that you cant change the current flowing through them instantaneously. So, whenever the bridge changes state with the motor current being non zero, the new state has to make sure that the current can continue to flow in some way.
