Power Supply and Control Integration

Hello i want an integration of a power supply from 5-50V as an input i want decoupled in and output, an rs485 connectivity and Ethernet fpór Ethercat. i want severeal outputs with mosfests to control bldcs and LEDs and also 2 stepper outputs

I can help outline the overall design. I’ll ask three questions to clarify your requirements. First:
  1. For the power supply section (5–50V in), what maximum load current do you expect? For example, is it low (<1A), moderate (1–5A), or high (>5A)?
You can answer or ask me to assume typical values.
Assume typical load current
Low current expected
Moderate current (1-5A)
High load current (>5A)
High because the motors have each around 200 Watts (4 motors) and 24V input so it should have cascading input we need 24 v for the motors but we need 5 volts for U1

Thanks for the details. I have two more questions to help clarify your design:
  1. For the RS485 and Ethernet/EtherCAT interfaces:
    • How many RS485 interfaces do you need?
    • For EtherCAT, do you have a preferred PHY/transceiver or additional interface specifics?
  2. Regarding the MOSFET outputs and stepper outputs:
    • How many MOSFET channels do you need for driving the BLDCs and LEDs?
    • Could you provide more details on the stepper outputs (e.g., voltage/current ratings, driver style)?
Feel free to answer or ask me to assume typical values.
RS485 and EtherCAT details
MOSFET and Stepper details
2 rs485, no specific. but i also need a integrated wifi with 2 external antennas. it shall all be insdustrial standard.
4 bldc and 2 LED bldc 200 watt each 24V and the Led 50 Watt each. also 24V for the stepper it shall be closed loop driver with 24V and max 8 A output

Below is an overall design architecture suggestion based on your requirements. You can use these schematic suggestions to guide component selection and net organization in your project:

Proposed System Blocks

Table


BlockFunctionComments/Considerations
Wide Input Power StageAccept 5–50V DC, with proper input filtering and decoupling.Use industrial-grade filtering/protection.
24V Rail Power SupplyStep down from the wide input to a stable 24V rail to power motors, LED outputs, BLDC drivers, and stepper drivers.Select an industrial buck converter rated for high current (total power for 4×200W BLDCs, 2×50W LEDs, and stepper drivers).
5V Rail Power SupplyGenerate a regulated 5V supply for logic (e.g. U1).Use a dedicated buck converter and add decoupling at input/output.
BLDC & LED Driver OutputsProvide 4 MOSFET-driven channels for BLDC motors (each ~200W at 24V) and 2 MOSFET-driven channels for 50W LEDs (at 24V).MOSFETs should be rated above the motor currents. Decoupling networks and proper heat-sinking required.
Stepper Drive Outputs2 closed-loop stepper motor drivers rated for 24V and up to 8A output each.Ensure drivers include feedback sensing for closed-loop operation; consider overcurrent and thermal protection circuits.
Communications SubsystemIntegrate: - 2 RS485 transceivers (with proper termination and industrial isolation if needed)- EtherCAT Ethernet interface standard- Integrated industrial WiFi module supporting dual external antennasFor RS485 and EtherCAT, use industrial-grade transceivers and PHYs. For WiFi, select a module engineered for robust industrial use. Decoupling and proper impedance matching on RF traces/antennas is essential.

Integration Considerations
  1. Power Supply Decoupling:
    • Place decoupling capacitors both at the input and the outputs of the buck converters.
    • Ensure each supply rail (24V and 5V) has local bypass networks close to loads (motor drivers, microcontroller, communication modules).
  2. Interface Isolation & Signal Integrity:
    • Use RS485 transceivers with differential termination networks.
    • For EtherCAT, follow the recommended layout for industrial Ethernet and include proper magnetic isolation if required.
    • For WiFi, add a matching network for the dual external antennas; ensure layout follows RF guidelines.
  3. Motor & LED Driver Outputs:
    • Separate the output stages for BLDC motors and LED channels.
    • Use dedicated MOSFET drivers (or MOSFET H-bridge topologies if bidirectional control is required) with ratings that exceed the nominal load (for BLDC ~10A rated devices, for LEDs similar protection).
    • Include proper dead-time and switching frequency control if using PWM control.
  4. Stepper Motor Drivers:
    • Implement closed-loop drivers that can measure current or position for feedback.
    • Include overcurrent protection and cooling for the 8A outputs.
    • Signal conditioning (decoupling, proper GPIO drive from U1) is essential.
  5. Industrial Standards:
    • Choose components rated for industrial environments (extended temperature ranges, robust connectors, etc.).
    • Follow proper layout practices (ground planes, trace width for high currents, separation of power and signal layers).

Next Steps
  • Component Selection:
    • Identify appropriate industrial buck converters for the 24V and 5V supplies.
    • Search for industrial-grade MOSFET driver modules, closed-loop stepper driver modules, RS485 transceivers, EtherCAT Ethernet PHY modules, and WiFi modules with dual-antenna support using the Flux part library (search for buck converter, search for MOSFET driver, etc.).
  • Schematic Updates:
    • Add power supply conversion circuits with necessary decoupling networks.
    • Insert the communication interfaces (2×RS485, one EtherCAT port, integrated WiFi module) with proper terminations and layout considerations.
    • Add MOSFET driver circuits for 4 BLDC and 2 LED channels.
    • Add 2 stepper driver blocks with closed-loop control.
You can iterate the design details by selecting specific parts through the library search in Flux. Let me know if you would like more guidance on any particular block or suggestions for specific components.
