Part Number: MCF8316AEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430FR2355, MCF8316A

Tool/software:

hello

i am using motor studio to in order to use MCF8316AEVM.

when you first activate to program it finds the evb then i press proceeds and follow the instructions [POT position and jumper setting]

when i reach to the next step i am stuck with this screen

it says to press default values but the button is not enabled

what should i do?

and also what should i do with the firmware? which firmware do i need? where do i load it?

                                    thank you,

                                                       Amir

    Hi Amir,

    Before you can press the button, select upload file and select a register configuration file for the MCF8316 on the EVM can be used. Selecting a register configuration which closely matches your application will help to minimize the amount of tuning required.

    I have attached a register configuration below which you can use.

    No firmware installation is needed, the firmware should already be pre-installed on the MSP430FR2355 on the MCF8316AEVM. The firmware on the MSP430 enables communication between the GUI and the MCF8316 on the EVM.

    hi

    thank you for your replay

    i tried to upload the file but the file is invalid 

    is there anything else i can do?

    all i want is to use analog control to spin my BLDC MOTOR in one direction at 4000RPM

    i dont I2C control and all that just one speed and i will use LPF to accelerate slowly 

                                          thank you for your help

    Hi Amir,

    1. Can you tell me the error/message you saw when trying to upload the file to the EVM?
    2. Can you tell me which device is detected on the home page of Motor Studio when you first connected the EVM to the computer, is it the MCF8316A or MCF8316C?

    Even with the default configuration, the performance of the motor may not be exactly what you would like and some tuning of acceleration, current limits, PI loop gains, etc. maybe required. For general guidance on tuning the MCF8316 please refer to the MCF8316A tuning guide.

    To switch the MCF8316 to analog speed control, you can go to the Advanced Tuning page and change the speed control type. Make sure to disable the I2C control switch on the left side of motor studio since this is a I2C control override. 

    Regards,

    Joshua

    hi thank you for your answer

    1. as shown in the picture the red notice in the button right says file invalid

    2. MCF8316C

    3. the program comes the default setting of analog control so i did not  have to change it but still the motor will not spin

    i think i have missing data about the motor [pole number] could that make to motor not to spin?

    thank you

    Hi Amir,

    After testing the file myself, motor studio does not like the period in the name of the file. Can you rename the default register json so the period is removed and try again?

    Amir K said:

    i think i have missing data about the motor [pole number] could that make to motor not to spin?

    Is the motor able to spin at all? is there a fault being reported? You may have to adjust the current limits so the motor has enough current to spin.

    If the motor is moving at all, what is it able to do before stopping?

    The number of poles are not required to have the motor spin but are needed to convert a rpm value into electrical Hz so the motor speed range can be accurate.

    I recommend looking through the essential controls section of the MCF8316A Tuning Guide. This essential controls section will go over all the required configuration steps to get a motor successfully spinning.

    Regards,

    Joshua
