A microcomputer control system for an electronically commutated dc motor (ECM) has been designed, built and tested. A 3-hp, 270-volt, samarium-cobalt brushless dc motor is controlled by an Intel 8086-based microcomputer. The main functions of the microcomputer are to control the speed of the motor, to provide forward or reverse rotation, to brake, and to protect the motor and its power electronic switching circuits from overcurrents. The necessary interface circuits were designed and built, and the system components have been integrated and tested. Test results of the entire system are reported and evaluated. It is shown in this study that the proposd ECM system with the microcomputer control operate the motor reliably over a wide range of speeds. The purpose of this effort is to develop the motorcontroller for driving electromechanical actuators for flight control and other aircraft applications.
