Hi
i am using NI PCI 6251 for closed loop control of dc drive.(shunt motor,220v, 0.5HP, 2.5A rated, 1500RPM)
the dc motor is fed from a bidirectional dc-dc converter. this converter works in boost mode(forword motoring) and buck mode(braking mode/battery charging)
the converter is built using mitsubishi IGBT module. at low voltage side of the converter a battery bank of 48V is connected and high voltage side the motor is connected.
An IR sensor is developed to measure the speed of the motor and a hall current sensor is used to sense the converter current.
in the control part i have an inner current control loop(PWM controller) and a outer speed control loop.both controllers are PI controller. To measure the speed i have used counter of the DAQ assistant, then frequency. then this frequency is converted to RPM using labview.after giving the speed and current signals to the controllers , then i started tunning the PI gain, but at the starting the duty cycles was 100%, so the IGBT got damaged immediately. now how to tune the controllers during the closed loop operation. the switching frequency of the converter is 20KHz.
can any body suggest me how to run the dc drive in closed loop ?
thanking you.
