Interfacing DC Motor control using PWM module.



Interfacing DC Motor control using PWM module.

Description: The main purpose of DC interfacing 8051 microcontroller is for controlling the speed of the motor. The DC motor is an electrical machine with a rotating part termed as a rotator which has to be controlled.

When interfacing 8051 with DC motor requires a motor driver. There are various types of drivers ICs among which L293D is typically used for interfacing DC motor with 8051.L293 is an IC with 16 pins which are represented .

The practical application of L293D IC is (L293D acts as an interface device) DC motor interfacing with 8051 microcontroller by which we can control the speed and direction of the motor. Practical application in which speed and direction of DC motor can be controlled by interfacing with 8051 microcontroller.

There are many ways to control speed of motors but very simple and easy way is to use Pulse Width Modulation.

Pulse width modulation is an effective method for adjusting the amount of power delivered to an electrical load.

Power loss being the product of voltage and current is thus in both cases close to zero. PWM also works well with digital controls which because of their on/off nature can easily set the needed duty cycle.
