Generate drive parameters for your motor in MCEWizard and start turning. Create motion profiles in MCEDesigner and perform application testing. Develop custom algorithm components for Motion Control Engine. Design and build application specific hardware. Write embedded application layer and control software for 8051. 5 Drive Commissioning Tools MCEWizard – Parameter Calculation • Calculates digital control parameters from motor and control system specifications – Screen input such as motor resistance in ohms, rated current in amps, PWM frequency in kHz etc. • Text and pictures to explain input specifications – Output text file is a list of digital control parameter names and values MCEDesigner – Drive Testing & Parameter Tuning • Download data to MCE registers – Download full set of parameters from a data file – Start and Stop the motor – Edit data in individual control registers – Create macro functions • for example can create velocity profiles • Downloads 8051 and MCE code to EEPROM or Flash for permanent storage – can also download MCE code to RAM for testing • Collects trace data while running the MCE and displays it graphically – Plot current, angle or velocity while running 6 Drive Configuration Tool MCEWizard • IR provides a tool to generate drive parameters for your target motor. • Simply enter motor and application specific data into the Wizard and export the parameters. • As development continues, use the Wizard to tune the drive and to generate the correct drive values for custom hardware. 7 Drive Testing Tool MCEDesigner • Use this tool to test and tune your motor drive. • Build functions which command speed profiles for application specific testing. • Optimize drive parameters under load to achieve best possible performance. • Use the parameter trace to plot internal control variables to debug and improve drive. 8 iMotion Development Systems 9 Summary Integrated Design Platform Software Digital Control Technology Analog, HVIC Power Silicon Module Module Reference Design Kits based on IR’s silicon chipset: Integrates digital controllers, analog interface and power silicon Enables Sensorless Field Oriented Control for 3 phase motors Sinusoidal drive Software tools to get motor spinning quickly Full board design available for rapid prototyping 10
