LAUNCHXL-F28069M: Lab 4: Torque output

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28069M

Hello, with respect to the 4th lab in the instaspin labs, I suppose that when I run the motor on no-load and without a speed controller (as needed in the manual) I must see that with increase in IqRef_A commanded, there must be an increase in the output torque, ie., Torque_Nm. I'm using a supply that can provide 24V, 5A and my USER_MOTOR_MAX_CURRENT is set to 3 in the "user.h" file. 

However, for a single value of IqRef_A the Torque_Nm varies a lot. Although the motor visually seems like it is running ok. The values of IqRef_A for which these were observed were all below 3. Is this normal? 

Regards,
Harsh

  • The USER_MOTOR_MAX_CURRENT is used to set a limit on the maximum current command output of the provided Speed PI Controller to the Iq controller. Normally, the IqRef_A  is less than or equal to USER_MOTOR_MAX_CURRENT always if the speed closed-loop is enabled.
