Hi all!

I want to control 3 phase motor (I get HDD motor from old HDD), and now I can generate 3 PWM signal on 3 channels but they are same, not

shift phase

120 degree!

Please help me!

I use STM32F4 discovery board and Keil!

Thanks all

If you need 3 Phase at 50/50 duty, you could use toggle mode, programming the phase shift into the ''Pulse'' field

Hi Clive, I tested and your code is ok, and now I want to invert direction of motor, I know I have to update period to Ch1 = period*2/3 and Ch3 = period/3, but I don't know how to update period value.

Now i change TIM4_Configuration() function to 2 function: TIM4_Configuration_left() TIM4_Configuration_right() Would you have another way for me update the period to invert direction?! Thanks you very much!

*****************************************
 TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = (Period / 6); // CH1 60 + 0 Degrees
 TIM_OC1Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
 
 TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = (Period / 6) + (Period / 3); // CH2 60 + 120 Degrees
 TIM_OC2Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
 
 TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = (Period / 6) + ((Period * 2) / 3); // CH3 60 + 240 Degrees
 TIM_OC3Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
 *****************************************

The period relates to the speed. To reverse the phase relationship, you'd presumably swap ch 1 & 3 settings.

oh, I'm sorry. I want to talk about the pulse.

The pulse is set in TIM4_Configuration() function, and I want update the pulse for 3 channel: Left:

*****************************************
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0; // CH1 0 + 0 Degrees
TIM_OC1Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0 + (Period / 3); // CH2 0 + 120 Degrees
TIM_OC2Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0 + ((Period * 2) / 3); // CH3 0 + 240 Degrees
TIM_OC3Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
*****************************************

Right:

*****************************************
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0+ ((Period * 2) / 3); // CH1 0 + 240 Degrees
TIM_OC1Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0 + (Period / 3); // CH2 0 + 120 Degrees
TIM_OC2Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0; // CH3 0 + 0 Degrees
TIM_OC3Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
*****************************************

But I don't know how to update it in while loop, so now I write 2 function TIM4_Configuration_left()

void TIM4_Configuration_left(void)
{
TIM_TimeBaseInitTypeDef TIM_TimeBaseStructure;
TIM_OCInitTypeDef TIM_OCInitStructure; //dung cho PWM
int Prescaler, Period;
Prescaler = ((SystemCoreClock / 2) / 20000); // 20 KHz timebase, assumes APB1 H/4 TIMCLK4 H/2
Period = 20000 / 1; // 1 Hz
/*
Prescaler = ((SystemCoreClock / 2) / 360000); // ~360 KHz timebase, assumes APB1 H/4 TIMCLK4 H/2
Period = 36000; // ~10 Hz -> ~ 5 Hz
*/
/* Time base configuration */
TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = Period - 1; 
TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Prescaler = (Prescaler - 1)/20; //10 Hz
TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_ClockDivision = 0;
TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_Up;
TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM4, &TIM_TimeBaseStructure);
/* Output Compare Toggle Mode configuration: Channel 1, 2 & 3 */
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OCMode = TIM_OCMode_Toggle; 
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OutputState = TIM_OutputState_Enable;
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OCPolarity = TIM_OCPolarity_High;
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0; // CH1 0 + 0 Degrees
TIM_OC1Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0 + (Period / 3); // CH2 0 + 120 Degrees
TIM_OC2Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0 + ((Period * 2) / 3); // CH3 0 + 240 Degrees
TIM_OC3Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_ARRPreloadConfig(TIM4, ENABLE); 
/* TIM4 enable counter */
TIM_Cmd(TIM4, ENABLE);
}

and TIM4_Configuration_right()

void TIM4_Configuration_right(void)
{
TIM_TimeBaseInitTypeDef TIM_TimeBaseStructure;
TIM_OCInitTypeDef TIM_OCInitStructure; //dung cho PWM
int Prescaler, Period;
Prescaler = ((SystemCoreClock / 2) / 20000); // 20 KHz timebase, assumes APB1 H/4 TIMCLK4 H/2
Period = 20000 / 1; // 1 Hz
/*
Prescaler = ((SystemCoreClock / 2) / 360000); // ~360 KHz timebase, assumes APB1 H/4 TIMCLK4 H/2
Period = 36000; // ~10 Hz -> ~ 5 Hz
*/
/* Time base configuration */
TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Period = Period - 1; 
TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_Prescaler = (Prescaler - 1)/20; //10 Hz
TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_ClockDivision = 0;
TIM_TimeBaseStructure.TIM_CounterMode = TIM_CounterMode_Up;
TIM_TimeBaseInit(TIM4, &TIM_TimeBaseStructure);
/* Output Compare Toggle Mode configuration: Channel 1, 2 & 3 */
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OCMode = TIM_OCMode_Toggle; 
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OutputState = TIM_OutputState_Enable;
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_OCPolarity = TIM_OCPolarity_High;
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0+ ((Period * 2) / 3); // CH1 0 + 240 Degrees
TIM_OC1Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0 + (Period / 3); // CH2 0 + 120 Degrees
TIM_OC2Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_OCInitStructure.TIM_Pulse = 0; // CH3 0 + 0 Degrees
TIM_OC3Init(TIM4, &TIM_OCInitStructure);
TIM_ARRPreloadConfig(TIM4, ENABLE); 
/* TIM4 enable counter */
TIM_Cmd(TIM4, ENABLE);
}

And the main program:

int main(void)
{
RCC_Configuration();
GPIO_Configuration();
while(1) /* Infinite loop */
{
TIM4_Configuration_left();
delay();
TIM4_Configuration_right();
delay();
}
}

But I think it 's not good, I think to have another way to invert direction without reconfig the Timer. Hope you see what I want to say! hihi Thank you!

The total reconfiguration seems rather unnecessary.

Why wouldn't you simply reprogram the TIMx->CCR1, TIMx->CCR2, TIMx->CCR3 in the Update interrupt?

I would recommend you read the chapter(s) on the TIM peripherals in the reference manual.

Hi Mr Clive1,,how to update n generate PWM for delay 120 degree with ADC input..?like as Voltage divider or etc...

[Tesla DeLorean]

Posted on April 24, 2014 at 04:19

Yes, I'm not completely sure what the question is, when language fails consider a diagram.

It should be possible to trigger ADC conversions on various ADC units/channels using TIM channels/updates. The associativity between ADC and TIM triggers can be found in the Reference Manuals for the parts.

hmm,thanks Mr Clive.

by the way, what is other technique if we will generated 3 phasa PWM but it is not use toggle mode..? this PWM use for trigger dc - dc converter.
