General Description
The AC induction motor control board is a
sophisticated motor control for single- and threephase AC induction motors rated at up to 230 V. Key
features include the feature-rich Stellaris LM3S818
microcontroller designed for motion control
applications, Fairchild Semiconductor's
FSBS10CH60 power module, and sophisticated
software to optimally control a wide range of motors
in diverse applications.
First-time users should purchase the RDK-ACIM Reference Design Kit (RDK) which
includes the control board, cables, a documentation CD, and a sample motor. Refer to the
RDK User's Guide (available for download from www.luminarymicro.com) for complete
technical details on using and customizing the motor control board. Figure 1 shows the
ACIM control board only (MDL-ACIM) and Figure 2 shows the ACIM RDK control board
(RDK-ACIM).

Overview
The MDL-ACIM motor control board controls three-phase and single-phase AC induction
motors. The board has an integrated USB port (Virtual COM port) and logic-level serial port
connections along with a quadrature encoder/tachometer input for speed and position
monitoring. Extensive configuration options using Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI)
are available and the board is easy to customize—full source code and design files are
available.
Features
The MDL-ACIM motor control board provides the following features:
„ End-user customizable line filter, bus capacitors, and JTAG interface
„ Split low-side current sensing for accurate current sensing
„ Dynamic braking circuit
„ Active in-rush control circuit
„ Electrically isolated JTAG port for software debugging or production programming (RDK
only)
„ Integrated AC line filter (RDK only)
„ USB/Serial UART
– FTDI FT232R USB to serial UART
– Virtual COM port, 115.2k,8,n,1 operation
– Stellaris MCC protocol

Heat Sink
The ACIM motor module does not come with a heatsink like the RDK-ACIM, but does
require a heatsink for operation. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards generally
require that surfaces that could be touched by a user or service person must not exceed
70°C, so this must be considered when choosing the size material of the heatsink.
Bus Capacitors
The ACIM motor module requires that the customer supply bus capacitors for the board.
The recommended capacitors to use are 1500 uF, 200 V electrolytic capacitors.
Safety Information
WARNING – Risk of Electric Shock
The microcontroller in the RDK is not referenced to ground; it is at AC line potential. Do not make
direct connection to the JTAG header or any other microcontroller-related circuit. Read the
Quickstart Guide first for additional warnings.
This RDK operates from AC line voltage. Improper use or application carries electric shock,
fire, and other risks that may result in serious injury or death. Please read and follow these
safety notices:
„ This documentation and kit must only be used by people with training and experience in
working with voltage potentials up to 230 V.
„ The control board has both high-voltage potential and safety low-voltage sections.
„ Do not connect high-voltage potential circuits to safety low-voltage circuits or to
ground-referenced equipment such as computers or test equipment.
„ After power is removed, high voltages remain until the bus capacitors discharge. Wait at
least one minute after removing power before working with high-voltage circuitry.
„ Use caution when using the on-board controls to adjust motor speed etc. High-voltage
circuits are in close proximity.
„ Never perform work on the control board, motor or, wiring while power is applied. Always
wear eye protection and use care when operating the motor.
In addition to safety risks, other factors that may damage the control hardware, the motor,
and its load include improper configuration, wiring, or software. Minimize the risk of damage
by following these guidelines.
