Development of Limited Angle Brushless Torque Motor Control Drive for Scan Mirror Mechanism

This paper illustrate the design and realization of control drive electronics of Limited Angle brushless torque motor for position control of Scan mirror mechanism. The scan mirror mechanism is controlled for the intended limited mechanical angle within +/20deg. The control drive is designed for six selectable positions within +/20deg with an accuracy of 0.75 degree. These six selectable positions are achieved with rates of 1 deg/sec, 2 deg/sec and 3 deg/sec according to the requirement. The control input to the drive electronics is given through PC interface for the required position and rate. The input/output is presented in GUI front end. The instantaneous data of present position and rate of the scan mechanism is logged in PC for reference. KeywordControl drive, PC interface, Permanent magnet motor, Digital control, scan mechanism.
