MCU Motor Studio 4.0

The PC Tool allows motor parameter configuration, drive control, real-time logging and diagnostics via high-speed UART. The motor control firmware is scalable, fully configurable and supports the special motor functions of the Family Advanced Class TXZ+™ M4K Group and M3H Group. MCU Motor Studio together with the Clicker 4 MCU board and the Clicker 4 Inverter Shield from MikroElektronika (MIKROE) allows quick and easy MCU evaluation, BLDC motor application development and prototyping.

Benefits

• Achieve the highest efficiency by Field Oriented Control (Vector Control)
• Quick start-up and configuration of BLDC motors
• Performance tuning by real-time data logging & diagnostics
• Sensorless control with the unique single-shunt method that achieves a high current detection rate over a wide speed range
• Scalable firmware, easy to adapt to Toshiba motor MCUs and boards

Configuration

• Connect to MCU with USB only
• Set motor control parameters on GUI (with the initial parameters of MIKROE-4455)
• Parameter communication with MCU (download/upload)

Main Features

• Dynamic Modification of Motor Parameters, System Settings, and PI Control Parameters
  (Without Requiring Firmware Rebuild)
• Displaying snapshot and real-time waveform of various parameters during motor operation (Digital Storage Oscilloscope function)
  Note: Additional module is required for real-time waveform display
• Real-time Monitoring of Speed, Torque, Current, Motor Control State

Motor Drive Method

• Achieving high-efficiency motor drive through field-oriented control
  (Toshiba Vector Engine / Software Vector Engine)

Main Features

• Control Scheme：Speed／Position
• Current Detection：1-Shunt ／3-Shunt
• PWM Frequency：8kHz to 24kHz
• Flux observer based position estimation for sensorless control
• Field weakening control enables high-speed operation of the motor
• Protection：Over Current／Stall／Over and Under Voltage／Motor Disconnection

Motor Tuning Studio Ver. 1.0

is an easy-to-use, all-in-one profiling and parameter optimization solution featuring firmware and a PC-based tool. It allows for automatic motor parameter measurement such as phase resistance, phase inductance, moment of inertia, as well as automatic tuning and optimization of the proportional-integral regulator gains for speed, current, and position.

• Easily derive initial parameters from the motor and start the evaluation(*)
