As the na*e s!eciies) in sensored co**utation) the co**utation o BLDC*otor is done (ith the hel! o sensors' These sensors can $e o 7all t%!e) Encoders)
Resol#ers etc' In this !ro6ect (or/) the sensored co**utation is i*!le*ented usin" the
hall sensors *ounted on the *otor'
Sensored Co**utation usin" 7all sensors
As the na*e s!eciies) in the sensored co**utation o BLDC *otors) the rotor
!osition is sensed usin" 7all Eect sensors e*$edded into the stator' Most BLDC
*otors ha#e three 7all sensors e*$edded into the stator on the non=dri#in" end o the
*otor' 1hene#er the rotor *a"netic !oles !ass near the 7all sensors) the% "i#e a hi"h or
lo( si"nal) indicatin" the N or S !ole is !assin" near the sensors' Based on the
co*$ination o these three 7all sensor si"nals) the e8act se+uence o co**utation can $e
