Basically and in short terms, I need to control the speed and direction of an AC 1.5KW 3 Phase Motor with an Arduino.
The 3 Phase Motor will be connected to a VFD of course, and the VFD will be controlled by the Arduino.
There will be a control panel with the following:
-Start/Stop Button, whenever Start Button is pressed it will allow the motor to start rotating based on Auto/Manual Switch, and will run a timer that will show the time on the screen.
- Emergency Mushroom Button to Stop the Motor from Turning.
- Auto & Manual Switch
- When Auto is chosen, there are three push buttons that starts a preset code to turn the motor in certain pre set directions and speeds, each button with different speed and direction pattern.
-Direction Left/Right Stick & Potentiometer, when Manual Option is Chosen, the User can use the Joystick and Potentiometer to control the motor.
Project Deliverables
1. The Freelancer should be able to deliver a code that will connect all the parts and meet the requirements requested.
2. The Freelancer should be able to help and guide us with the installation of the hardware and connecting the button to the Arduino and the Arduino to the VFD.
3. The project is not limited only to the code but includes testing of the code and finalizing hardware connections and testing if the code is actually working or not.
** Project will be awarded to Freelancer who has similar parts and can work on it.
** We will not send any hardware, at the end you just need to send a working code and we will test it on our parts, if it works and you help us do the assembly you will get the money.
** You can recommend a certain VFD
Hello
This Mamdouh, and I have five years experience in Electronics and control design.
The project is applicable and I can finalize the code and sending you the code in Addison to schismatic for the hardware.
I would like to recommend semins inverter has it has multi output terminals.
If you still stake to a unique brand of VFD please specify.
Thank you
I am a professional Mechatronics Engineer. I was involved in building multiple Arduino Controlled CNC machines including upgrading Manual Lathes into CNC Lathes, the project you are presenting is familiar to me. I will just need to know what VFD you are using to know how to configure the Arduino outputs & code.
Hi,
In this project you need someone that can run tests on REAL hardware, if there's a bug in SW you can have it fixed but what if the problem is hardware ? Inverted phases ? Emergency braking not tested ? Soft start of engine not implemented and you keep burning motors ?
I can really make it work: I do own both hi power 3Phase VFC controller from Lenze, 3 phase motor and of course all the instruments and hardware needed to test it before delivery.
Of course this takes some more time than just write the SW.
I can provide photos or we can have a skype chat .
Alex.
i'm software engieneer
my major is embedded systems
i'm so intersting to help you with your project
I have many projects based on arduino and raspberry pi like Smart meter, smart home using many sensors humidity, temperature,motion,tft touch screen,lcd.
and iot emergancy robots which stream video and audio to Web server from anywhere by raspberry
also made a persons detector by raspberry pi & ip camera so I can help you with my experience in raspberry pi
also I have experience with controling 3 phase motors
and I can help you to finish your project within 3 days max
Hello, i have worked on the different types of VFD ( Schneider, Delta, Siemens and danfoss) for the past 7 years and also worked on the various arduino based project.
I can deliver your project very easily with the combination of arduino and schneider VFD.
