Description

The BLDC Commutation Logic block implements a commutation logic for brushless DC motors as part of this control algorithm.

The commutation logic is based on the Hall signals as summarized in this table.

Parameters

expand all

Time, in s, between consecutive block executions. During execution, the block produces outputs and, if appropriate, updates its internal state. For more information, see What Is Sample Time? and Specify Sample Time.

If this block is inside a triggered subsystem, inherit the sample time by setting this parameter to -1. If this block is in a continuous variable-step model, specify the sample time explicitly using a positive scalar.
