Motor Control ICs Forum Discussions
There are two different orderable part numbers, for what appears to be the same kit, in distribution. What is the difference?

EVAL-M3-102T is a Control Board for iMOTION™ Modular Application Design Kit (MADK) platform, powered by the new IMC102T-F064 iMOTION™ Motor Control IC

I purchased EVALM3CM615PNTOBO1+EVALM3102TTOBO2, debugged with MCEDesigner software, and monitored the data with serial port, the data obtained is as attachment, I downloaded the document <Infineon-MCESW-RM-UserManual-v01_03-EN.pdf>, its description and what I caught The data format is not right, help me to see it, thank you very much!
Show LessHello,
I'm using the IMC102T.
I configured to detect the AC under Voltage (180V)
According the user manual, §2.2.2.3, it is say that in case of under or over votlage, the PFC goes to Fault State.
THis is the case.
But when voltage return back over 180V, the fault is acknowledged and the PFC state leaves FAULT to STOP.. Anf the PFC_FaultFlag return to 0!
The UM indicate we must make PFC_FaultClear.
I think the need of clear ourself the fault is a correct behavior.
CUrrently, if a brief under voltage occurs, the PFC goes to fault, then to stop without any means to know what append!
PLease could you check that?

Hello, incidentally found something odd on MCEWizard when opening the wrong file :
When opening the CTE620N3 file there's no text on the yellow box and on the option page the system info field shows a different model number (see attached files).
This morning I've clicked on the wrong directory and opened the IM231 file instead, what a surprise ! there's text on the yellow box and the right model number is displayed.
I guess that could be why I can't make this inverter board working right ?
Regards.
Show LessHello, can't find informations about this, what is the use of the X102 pins on EVAL-M1-101T & EVAL-M1-101TF control boards ?
Communication without USB ?
Motor fault out ?
Extra inputs ?
Analog input by any chance ? (so I could get rid of expensive linear opto-isolator).
Thanks in advance.
Show LessHi everyone,
For an embedded application with motor control, we need to drive either a BLDC 24V or a 3-phase ACIM 230V or brushed DC 24V.
Obviously we need to use the same product ( motor selection with DIP switch).
Do you think IMOTION controller can be used for that ?
Best regards.

The DC bus voltage scaling resistor in the EVAL-M1-IM818-A has 5000K (Five 1M in series) , on the MADK IMC101T-T038 we have 13.2K. These configs have been successfully setup with the MCE Wizard.
However when a DC bus voltage of 500V is applied to this board we observe the Read DC Voltage Count showing an incorrect value, 300.5V as attached. Verified the hardware has the correct potential divider to ground and correctly scaling down to 1.32V at the DCB Voltage sense line for control board ADC(Pin 14)
Any recommendations as to how we can get the correct ADC "Drive Real Value" aligned to the input DC bus voltage ?

I have been reading iMotion 2.0 Device Programming document and trying to understand the whole process of taking a txt file generated by MCE Wizard (see attached file) and programming this into the IMC101 over the Programming serial port. Of course, this can be done using the MCE Designer during development. However, we want to do the same on our custom PCBA when operating in the field. We have our own microcontroller connected to the IMC101 Programming port and we want to follow the Config Mode protocol described in iMotion 2.0 Device Programming to do this.
The iMotion 2.0 Device Programming only shows the low-level protocol and does not show how to convert the parameter txt file into a series of DOWNLOAD PARAMETER messages. It also does not describe how the CHECKSUM is calculated and included in a DOWNLOAD PARAMETER message. Later it is checked when a CHECK PARAMETER message is sent.
Where is all this described? Without these details it is not possible for a user to make use of this protocol.
Thanks, Aaron
