TMS320F280049C: InstaSpin FOC Motor Control, Motor Fault Detection

Part Number: TMS320F280049C

Tool/software:

Hi,

we have implemented a PMSM servo drive using combined FOC/encoder commutation with external PID control using a PWM torque signal, and the next step is to send fault/status information back to the external controller via CAN for diagnostics. One category of faults we would like to detect is PMSM hardware faults i.e. open circuit/short circuit windings.

Are there any existing utilities or reference materials for implementing motor fault detection? I have done a search but can't find anything, and I'd prefer not to have to start from scratch.

Thanks for any assistance.

  • It could be an engineering topic that depends on what method you want to implement and what faults you want to detect, and it's not a part of the FOC of motor. Currently, there is no a mature reference code for you, but you can find a lot of documentation on website.
