Question

Use a resolver with Motor control

Hello,

I am working with Motor Control Workbench 6.4.1 for a project using Nucleo-G431Rb X-NUCLEO IHM08M1 and a PMSM motor. The position feedback is given by a motor resolver.

I read sin e cos values and calc the rotor position correctly.

If I generate a sensorless firmware all work but the issue is that I cannot find the option for a resolver in the Motor Control Workbench, only Hall sensors or Quadrature Encoder. Is there any way to go past this restriction for this use case, either through hardware or software ?

Any assistance is much appreciated.

Thank you

Hello @Doublesets,

Thank you for your interest in our products.
As mentioned, only Hall sensors or quadrature encoders are supported in the current MCSDK version implementation.

We had the same issue and decided to use a zero-crossing detector circuit to convert the sine-cosine waveforms to the quadrature waveforms.

Although it adds some delay, but it still works.
