20230121985 · 2023-04-20 · ·

A state machine motor controller (SMMC) interface comprises a plurality of states which defines a unique set of poles/motor phase/phases energized. Digital sensors capture the start of overlap of rotor poles with stator poles. The state change occurs when a rotor pole starts overlapping with a stator pole. The number of states depends on the number of phases and the design of the motor. The SMMC has up to four inputs to accept rotational information from digital sensors and can control motors having up to 16 states. A sequencer is used to keep track of state changes and provides a next state depending on forward/reverse direction setting and braking setting. A counter provides rotational speed based upon the number of clock pulses per time period for a state change. The sequencer checks for a faulty sensor(s) and generates a fault interrupt therefrom.
