How to control rpm of dc motors by using pwm module in pic16f877a ?

[rangerskm]

I started to study PWM module ,can u explain me about PR,CCP1L ,CCP1H,TIMER2 and the relation between frequency,time period and rpm

hi,

i made a project in high schooll like that. but i used ccs c compiler and pic18f4550, but as far as i remember. the frequency doesnt affect your rpm, it just gives an option for your switching devices such as h-bridge mosfets or transistors. you can set your frequency according to your h-bridge devices.

the only thing that changes the rpm of dc motor is duty cycle of pwm. duty cycle is the time your square wave signal stay high. here is a simple example; if duty cycle of a pwm signal is %50; the measured voltage is 2.5v (assuming your supply is 5v) and if it is %60 your voltage is 3v. it is directly proportional.

here is my projects source code, i hope it works for you.

suppose i want to control a motor of speed 20 rpm,50, and 100 rpm , can u explain it with an example ,it will be so kind of u.

 

[adnan_merter]

first you have to know your dc motor's characteristics. for example which voltage level it starts to run and the minimum rpm. you cannot use the motor this minimum rpm. and of course the full speed rmp has to be measured. this measurements are your reference points to control your dc motor.

for example your dc (assuming it is a 12v motor) motor starts to rotate at 4v and 200 rpm, and when you supply 12 volt to your motor it reaches 1200 rpm. now you know your min and max rpm, and min and max voltage levels.

the pwm output i used in my project is 8 bit pwm. (0 -> MAX DUTY = 0x00 -> 0xFF)

that means it can change it duty cycle 0 to 255 valu so, one increment is 12/256= 0.46875v, now calculate your rpm rate:

your max rpm is 1200 and max voltage is 12 volt so the pwm duty is 255 or 0xFF

and your min rpm 200 and min voltage is 4 volt or so pwm duty is 64 or 0x40

(1200-200)/(255-64)=5.23rpm
now every increment between 0x40 and 0xFF changes your rpm 5.23 more or less.

i think it is clear enough to your project, the only thing you should do is to put your dc motor values and voltage supply in the equations. and write it in your codes;

set_pwm1_duty(your_value);
set_pwm2_duty(your_value);

these are your pwm channels and if you want to change the direction you have to use both channels.

i am searching for a good tutorial for pwm for the past few days ,thank you very much you really helped me..

is there any formula to find all these ?

how we are getting the value 0x40 /64 for 4 v pwm?

can you say the rating specifications mentioned in a motor with an example ?

i found a motor on website can u explain each specifications with reference to this..thanking you in advance

hi again,

the basic thing you have to know about dc motors is the only way of controlling speed is to control supply voltage. pwm function produces square wave signals with variable duty cycle. if you change the duty cycle, you can change the speed it is that simple

if you give full duty cyclde (in my case it is 0xFF) you supply 12 volt. if you give 0xFF the supply is 0 volt. any change in duty cycle rate means 1/256 voltage change.

i made a mistake in my previous post, sorry about that. the voltage should be 3 volts. means 1/4 of 12v (0x40 is 1/4 of 0xFF) i hope you can figure out this simple aquations.
