Stellaris® Brushed DC Motor Control
Module with CAN (MDL-BDC24)
The Stellaris® Brushed DC Motor Control Module with
CAN (MDL-BDC24) improves on the highly successful
MDL-BDC design by providing variable speed control for
both 12 V and 24 V brushed DC motors at up to 40 A
continuous current, while adding a new RS232-based
serial control input that also functions as a serial-to-CAN
bridge. The MDL-BDC24 includes a rich set of sensor
interfaces, connectivity, and control options, including
analog and quadrature encoder interfaces, high
performance Controller Area Network (CAN) interfaces,
and an RS232 port. The module uses highly optimized
software and a powerful 32-bit Stellaris® microcontroller to
implement open-loop voltage control as well as
closed-loop control of speed, position, or motor current.
The H-bridge on the MDL-BDC24 is run at high-frequency
through the MCU's integrated PWM interface and enables
DC motors to run smoothly and quietly over a wide speed
range.
The MDL-BDC24 is powered by the ARM®
Cortex™-M3-based LM3S2616 microcontroller that
provides efficient and deterministic performance while
integrating CAN, UART, and advanced motion control
capabilities. TheMDL-BDC24 design also incorporates
several high-quality analog components from Texas
Instruments, including the SN65HVD1050 CAN
Transceiver, MAX3221 RS232 Line Driver/Receiver,
TPS54040 Swift DC/DC Converter, TPS73633 Voltage
Regulator, and INA193 Current Shunt Monitor. The
MDL-BDC24 is positioned into a wide variety of consumer
and industrial applications, including factory automation
devices and systems, mobile robots, household
appliances, pumping and ventilation systems, and electric
wheelchairs and mobility devices.
