Brushless Electric Motor Controllers for UAVs and Payloads

The electronics department of UVR LLC completed a cycle of works on adapting standard controllers of brushless electric motors to the features used in helicopter-type unmanned aerial vehicles.

Brushless motor controllers convert the DC voltage from batteries into a three-phase AC voltage, implement various motor control functions (modes of stabilization of the motor current, its rotation speed, etc.), adjusting the voltage and current supplied to the motor. The controllers are operated via CAN, UART interfaces and by means of a PWM signal.

The adapted controller type can be applied to UAV electric motors used for various purposes.

The UAV tail rotor motor controller is located in the motor module casing and represents a single structure with it. The controller software is adapted to the operation of the tail rotor with self-expanding blades. This controller is serially installed on the UAV “ELECTRON 7”.

Brushless Electric Motor Controllers for UAVs and Payloads

Till now the prototype of the UAV main rotor motor controller has been developed, adjusted and tested. On bench tests the long-term electric power of the controller has reached 3 kW.

Also, a brushless electric motor with this controller is used in the winch developed by UVR LLC. The software of this payload is adapted to the peculiarities of cargo lifting and lowering by the light UAVs.

New Application Options for the Radiation Monitoring System Based on the UAV “ELECTRON 7”

On February 16-17, 2023, St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University “LETI” hosted the International Practical Conference “Intelligent Border Checkpoint in Russia and the World: Competence-Based Approach to Creation” (IBCP 23).

As part of the forum, UE “ATOMTEX” (Minsk) presented a report “Mobile Radiation Scanning Systems”, in which it once again demonstrated to interested parties the mobile System for radiation reconnaissance and monitoring RMG-AT2000, developed jointly with UVR LLC, used with an unmanned helicopter “ELECTRON 7”.

The report reflects the main advantages of using the system. The possibility of airborne remote radiation monitoring of containers in temporary storage warehouses, vehicles in queues and trains can significantly increase the level of detection of gamma radiation sources, taking into account the fact that currently used radiation detection portals usually do not register radiation above the scanned object.

UAV “COMBO” Control Algorithms Verification and Improvement

UVR LLC software development department specialists have conducted a series of scientific and practical studies in order to assess the performance of the applied automatic and command control algorithms of the of the UAV “COMBO”, as well as to increase their functional safety in case of short-term failures of the communication channel and interruption of the data exchange.

The purpose of the tests was to ensure the dynamic stability and stabilizing properties of the UAV “COMBO” control system in case of emergency situations, as well as during the transfer of control from one ground station to another.

The complete detailed simulation model of the UAV “COMBO” was used as an object of research. It had been previously verified by comparison with the full-scale tests of the basic Ka-26 helicopter. The verification had been carried out by comparing the flight control parameters of the basic helicopter and the ones of the model developed at UVR LLC.

UAV "COMBO" Control Algorithms Verification and Improvement

The results of the tests proved the operability of the applied autopilot algorithms, both standard and those developed by UVR LLC, the effectiveness of the software used to stabilize the flight and ensure the dynamic stability of the UAV “COMBO” in various emergency situations was confirmed. Also, the correctness of the introduction of restrictions on control actions on the angular velocity of the circuits was checked step by step: ROLL – up to 50000 ^o/c², PITCH – up to 35000 ^o/c², YAW – up to 45000 ^o/c².
