Efficient and Smooth Operation at All Speeds: APM32F035 Industrial Exhaust Fan Solution

October 20, 2023 Industrial

Geehy's APM32F035 industrial exhaust fan mass production solution enhances the sensorless Field-Oriented Control (FOC) method, delivering remarkable efficiency, minimal noise, and seamless operation across all speeds. It excels in initial position detection, boasting an exceptional 100% startup success rate.

This solution is centered around the APM32F035 motor control MCU, which samples signals like bus voltage, current, and IPM temperature. It executes motor control logic and receives command inputs and operational feedback from upper-level applications. By receiving control commands via UART, it enforces internal motor algorithm logic control. Simultaneously, it synchronously samples bus voltage and motor phase current through ADC for internal processing. This results in the generation of three pairs of complementary PWM signals via Timer1, facilitating the efficient, smooth, and quiet operation of the fan.
