Universal BLDC controller — With IIoT set of features

Abstract

The exponential increase in the utilization of smart devices at consumer level as well as industrial grade level, the need to serve hundreds of sensors for effective computerization is of incredible conspicuousness in the field of M2M. HTTP convention was surely understood for remote checking, examination of information from extensive number of sensing components. There are some disadvantages of HTTP protocol like high consumption of bandwidth, more power requirement and lesser efficiency [1]. The different protocol like MQTT, AMQP and COAP are uses low bandwidth and capable of working in a network constraint situations in order to increase efficiency of embedded devices [2]. In this proposed model MQTT protocol has been used which is an IoT protocols used as a advancement to previous controlling methods. Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are replacing traditional brushed DC motors due to higher reliability, higher efficiency (about 50%) and lower noise. The efficient BLDC control solution for industrial IoT (Internet of Things) is proposed based on the industrial grade requirements, designed for low to high voltage operation. As the era of connecting the devices with the cloud is being increasing gradually, the proposed method uses an IoT protocol for monitoring as well as controlling over the motor. The proposed method provides us the control over motor rotation speed, forward & reverse rotation and failure detection like commutation error, over current and over voltage.
