i want to generate 3 PWM 120 degrees out of phase with arduino mega2560 because i want to control six pluse igbt to control 3 phase motor ( 220v/380v // f=50hz // rpm = 1430 ) and display the frequence in LCD

i use timer 1 and 2  :
timer 1 (controls pin 12, 11)
timer 2 (controls pin 10, 9)

can you help me to fix the code  for my arduino mega 2560  because the problem is the frenquence output

Code:

#include "avr/pgmspace.h"
#include "avr/io.h"

I think the assumption of your first sentence is basically wrong.  When doing a 3 phase drive, the PWM frequency will be much higher than the commutation frequency (in order to obtain good current control, especially with non-constant current per commutation) therefore there is no need for any phase difference in the PWM signals.

For a 50Hz motor, the commutation frequency is 50Hz but the PWM will be a few kHz.

If you're trying to generate three sine waves from PWM with a phase offset, that's totally reasonable.  You just have three different indices into your sine table, offset by 1/3 of the table's length.   You basically have it with OFFSET_1 etc but you didn't wrap the values so you're reading off the end of the sine table.  Do something like this instead:

Code:

pwm1=sine256[icnt];
pwm2=sine256[(icnt+OFFSET_1)&0xFF];
pwm3=sine256[(icnt+OFFSET_2)&0xFF]

The PWM signals will all be mostly in phase but that doesn't matter; the sine waves will be out of phase.  In fact if you zoom out on your waveform view, you might find that you are very close already.

[Reply #2 on:]

Its more complex that this, you have 3 currents you want to independently control,
to get sinusoids, the three PWM signals have to coordinate to achieve this.  I don't
think this is possible using the hardware PWM units.

You should perhaps consider trapezoidal drive which only drives two of the phase-
wires at once - easier to do at the expense of torque ripple.

I'd recommend looking at this which I came across a while back:
http://www.tinaja.com/glib/stepsynt.pdf
(in particular look for the section "Delta friendly")

MarkT: the 50Hz reference and use of sines makes me believe this is an AC machine, not a PM BLDC.

adelo14: you only need one sine table.  You read from it at different offsets as per the code snippet I posted.  Your code is mostly there, though you will want to increase your PWM frequency somewhat in order to get a clean sine.

he make me crazy , can anyone help to fix it ?

MarkT: the 50Hz reference and use of sines makes me believe this is an AC machine, not a PM BLDC.

They are different names for the same motor.  Some are optimized for sinusoidal
drive and some for trapezoidal, but they will both work with either.

for my 3 signals it's oki but the problem is i can't varier the frequence .

i use this  lowpass 

can you help me to fix it

[Reply #8 on:]

i found this doc can you explain me this to fix the output frequence in 2khz

[Reply #9 on:]

DDS can be used to synthesize a sine wave, but you need a PWM scheme, for which
a master clock is needed that's digital, not analog.  DDS can still do this but jitter
may be a concern if the DDS isn't running fast enough (ie isn't hardware based).

Can you explain more what you are intending to do?
