Resolver, commonly known as "rotary transformer", has a history almost as long as that of motion control.
Because of its high reliability (compared to optical encoders), robustness and durability, it is often used as position feedback for rotary motion and is used in some very harsh equipment environments, such as wind power, construction machinery... etc.
For traditional motor solutions there are many problems to be solved.
We need to choose a larger motor to ensure that the torque step margin; open-loop control of stepper motors consume high current and generate a lot of heat; torque pulsation will cause vibration and noise; Then how do we ensure that the motor control can still maintain high precision operation in harsh environments?It may be worthwhile to see how to solve these problems in Jnchip (Hong Kong).
The Resolver is a highly environmentally friendly motor position sensor that enables high-precision control of motors in harsh environments such as high temperatures, dust and vibration.
It acquires angular information by converting the resolver analog signal into a digital signal.
High precision motor control is possible even in harsh environments with heat, dust or vibration.
High-speed response and low cost can be achieved by using a new RDC IC controlled in conjunction with an MCU.
The RDC IC driver automatically corrects the gain, phase and angle errors of the resolver signal to achieve high accuracy.
High-speed response using a new control method
A new type of RDC IC is used in combination with a microcontroller to provide high-speed response and reduce beat time.
Cost reduction of RDC ICs
Simplified RDC circuitry using some microcontroller functions. RDC IC circuit and cost reduction
Cost reduction of resolver sensors
Voltage and current detection type resolver sensors are supported and winding error compensation function is implemented to reduce the cost of resolver sensors.
In the resolver-based motor control solution, the RDC IC and RX MCU process signals from the resolver as angle information, while the RX MCU controls the motor.
A dedicated driver for the RDC IC is provided on the RX MCU, and resolver processing can be easily performed using the API.
