Flaps Motor Control Module (FMCM) 

DAL A FPGA-Based Motor Control Unit

Characteristics

  • 2 KW Brushless DC Motor Controller
  • DAL A Certifieable Development
  • DO160g Qualified  for non-pressurized environment


See Datasheet

The FMCM is a motor controller for the electrical FLAPS actuation of a medium sized turboprop Part-25 Aircraft


System Functions
  • The FMCM controls the speed, and direction of one 3 phase motor based on the speed command received via CAN and the actual motor speed received from a resolver attached to the motor.
  • The FMCM controls the motor POB according to command received via a CAN bus via a discrete signal
  • The FMCM sends  actual motor speed, status, and BIT detected failures on CAN bus. 
Top Level Architecture

All functions of FMCM are implemented in an FPGA.



Enclosure & Environmental Qualification

The FMCM is built into a robust sealed aluminum enclosure. Environmental qualification is performed according to DO160 for non-pressurized environment.
