Experiment no. 11

  • L11.1 Name:


  • XMC4500 - DC control Honeywell traction motor



  • L11.2 General presentation, purpose.


  • The laboratory work aims to present an alternative to drive the traction motors used in the first electric vehicles . The Systimer component of DAVE 4.x is explored, which allows the activation of functions at programmable time intervals. At the end of the laboratory, there will be details about the implementation of the PWM reaction generation operations, use of DAVE 4 resources and about the real working parameters for a famous direct current electric motor .


  • L11.3 Resources:


  • Hardware:
    XMC4500 Relax kit, Honeywell Micro DC motor switch , DC motor power interface, connection cables, ..
    Software:
    Infineon DAVE 4.3


  • L11.4 Prototype program source:


  • Prototype program ----------- Video sequence




  • L11.5 Mode of conducting / following the experiment:

    • The XMC4500 Relax kit interconnection scheme to DC motor is analyzed;



    • The operation mode of the power stage made with the IRF520N transistor is analyzed ;


    • It explores the existing PWM generation modules in DAVE;
    • A Dave project is made with a source from the prototype program and the execution is followed on the XMC4500 Relax kit platform;
    • The proposed problems are solved.

  • L11.6 Proposed issues:


  • 1. Create a program sequence that allows bidirectional control of the engine;
    2. Create a program that will generate the full spectrum of PWM signals for the entire range of engine operation;
    3. Create a program that allows you to drive the engine with variable speed and display it on the HMI interface;
    4. Develop a solution to stop the engine in case the load exceeds a required value;
    5. Develop a solution for stopping the engine in case its temperature has exceeded an imposed value;


  • L11.7 The experiment can be extended to:


  • - Development of traction systems for eVehicle;
    - Realization of industrial equipment for automation;
    - Realization of the orientation systems of the photovoltaic panels;
    - Realization of the conversion system of classic vehicles into electric ones.
