On my conveyor, there is a sensor that when it detects a pen, it turns the BLDC (brushless dc) motor off and then it triggers the laser. Just stopping the motor is an issue b/c sometimes the belt will rotate backwards ever so slightly and when it happens, wellll the part gets scrapped. What I need to happen is for the controller to stop the motor but hold its position. Sort of like locking it in forward and reverse at the same time.
Are any of you guys good with bldc motors and schematics?
Thank you!!
