fundamental differences between piccolo A and piccolo B

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

hello there, i have been trying to control a BLDC motor using the Piccolo F20827 controlCard. im having some problems as the motor vibrates uncontrollably. when i observe the outputs of ADC for thr Back Emfs it appears that phase A is almost off all the time with just very little currents occasionaly while thge other two phases b and C seem okay. when I  interchange pin position between A and B, same thing happens to Phase B as  its value becomes almaost zero all the time. when i change my hardware target and use the piccolo F28035 controlCard, the motor runs smoothly and is well controlled. i dont know what happens here.

querstion1. What is the fundamental difference between these two Cpontrol cards such that one works and the other doesnt?

Question2. could this be a Pin configuration issue in the F28027? why is it that i can sense the back emfs correctly with the f28035, while with the f28027 i can basically sense two phases correctly while the third phase givesz wrong voltage??

I appreciate any insight that you might give that will lead me into solving this issue.I extend my gratitiudes in adcvance.

  • Hi Kudra,

    To help understand things better, you're saying that phase C voltage appears to be measured correctly in both the F28035 or F28027 case.  It's just phase A (or phase B if you switch the wiring around).

    If I'm understanding things correctly, I might recommend looking at the schematics for the F28027 and F28035 controlCARD.  Both of these can be found within controlSUITE.  Note that for ADC inputs coming from the DIM connector to the chip, some inputs have an RC-filter while others do not (specifically the C).  I might recommend taking a look to see if there is a difference that might help explain what you are seeing.

    [also note that some adc channels do not exist in the F2802x family - for example, the F2802x device does not have an ADC-B0 channel]

    Hopefully this helps!


    Thank you,
