    VFD motor control causing soft error in microcontroller flash memory

    The micro is a philips P89C51RC.In-application programming instructions are activated by a BOOTROM area. There is also a security bit that can be set to keep from erasing the flash. It seems to me that it would be more likely that RAM is being corrupted causing a block erasure. I am also certain...

    VFD motor control causing soft error in microcontroller flash memory

    Kieth and Gunnar, thanks for your reply. To answer your questions: The flash has a boot rom which can allow in application programming. I'm going to bring this up again with the CTO. Our station controller was basically a 3 speed fan controller. It pulled on a different relay for the...

    VFD motor control causing soft error in microcontroller flash memory

    The wire connection is portable cord. There is actually two microcontrollers in the system. The local board receives a command from a station 10ft away(the second micro which is being corrupted). There is 500 hundred of these systems running. And at least 1 fails a day. Failure meaning that the...

    VFD motor control causing soft error in microcontroller flash memory

    The basic setup is a microcontroller that is providing a 0 - 10 DC voltage level to the VFD. The VFD is connected to a 120VAC fan motor (small horsepower). The problem that is occuring is the flash memory in the microcontroller is getting corrupted. Reprogramming the device corrects the...
