SPEED_MEAS Turns Negative at High RPM (27k) with Sensorless FOC on STM32

[orse]

I'm using ST MC Workbench v6.4.1  to generate sensorless FOC control code and trying to run a motor with the following setup:

• PWM frequency: 50 kHz

• Motor: 7-pole pair BLDC, 1750 Kv

• Bus voltage: 24 V

• Most other parameters are at default values

When I run the motor unloaded and increase the speed, the SPEED_MEAS parameter (observed in ST Motor Pilot) suddenly turns negative around 27,000 RPM. I’ve tried adjusting current loop and PLL parameters, but it didn’t help.

Any idea what could be causing this issue? How can I resolve it?

Hello @orse,

Does the motor physically change its direction of rotation, or is only the SPEED_MEAS incorrectly reported?

Hi @GMA ,
The motor's rotation direction remains correct. It is only a measurement error.
