PWM Control of DC Motor with PIC16F877A

This document discusses using pulse-width modulation (PWM) to control the speed of a DC motor. PWM works by varying the width of voltage pulses to the motor to adjust its average power and thus its speed. The document provides the theory behind PWM motor control and describes the setup and calculation for generating a 10 kHz PWM signal with a 50% duty cycle using a PIC16F877A microcontroller to control a DC motor. Code and flowcharts are included to demonstrate PWM motor speed control.

PWM Speed & Direction Control Of DC Motor

OBJECTIVE :
The objective of this experiment is to design a speed control system of DC Motor by
using PIC16F877A microcontroller.

REQUIREMENT : MPLAB-IDE , PIC SIM Lab .

THEORY :
With the help of PWM it is possible to control the average power delivered to
a load and by thus we can easily regulate the speed of the DC Motor. When the
width of pulse is high, the motor will rotate with full speed. And with low pulse
width, speed of motor gets reduced. In both cases full current reaches the motor and
only the average power changes, thus we get better torque in each case.

PWM Mode -

In Pulse Width Mode, the CCPx pin produces up to 10-bit resolution

PWM output -

Since the. CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch, the TRISC<2>
bit must be cleared to make the CCP1 pin as output.

Setup for PWM operation -

1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2 register.


2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the CCP1L register and CCP1CON
<5:4> bits.
3. Make the CCP1 pin an output by clearing the TRISC<2> bit.
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value and enable Timer2 by writing to T2CON
register.
5. Configure the CCP1 module for PWM operation.
CALCULATION :
Let us generate a square wave having 10kHz frequency with 50% duty cycle and
assume 4MHz clock frequency.

Here : PWM Period = 1/10k

Tosc = 1/4M

PWM duty cycle = 50%

Let us take, TMR2 prescale valve= 1:1

We know , PWM Period = [(PR2)+1] * 4 * Tosc * TMR2 prescale value

1/10k = [(PR2)+1] * 4 * 1/4M * 1:1

(PR2)+1 = 100

PR2 = 99 d

Also ,

PWM Duty cycle = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) *Tosc * TMR2 prescale value

50 = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) * 1/4M * 1:1

50*4 = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>)

(CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) = 200 d

(CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) = 0011001000 hex

PROGRAM :
; Oscillator : 4 MHz

;Program That Generates PWM

;PR2 = 99 (So The Frequency Would Be 10kHz)

FLOWCHART :
CONCLUSION :
DC motors have speed control capabilities, which means that speed, torque and
even direction of rotation can be changed at anytime to meet new condition. By
varying the PWM signal from microcontroller to the motor driver, motor speed can
be controlled back to desired value easily.
