DRV8434AEVM: Stall detection

Part Number: DRV8434AEVM

Tool/software:

Hi team,

I want to test Stall Detection.
The following flow was executed.
-Obtain a specific voltage in Learning mode
-Turn unloaded motor in Torque count mode

In this case, the voltage obtained in the Lerning mode is 1.8V, and the voltage at the beginning of the motor turns is about 2.4V.
Therefore, if you turn the motor in Torque count mode, a stall fault will occur immediately.

Is this the correct behavior? Or did I make a mistake?

Best regards,
Goto

  • Hi Goto-san,

    Thank you for your post.

    In your GUI settings I noticed you have a very slow acceleration setting. This is causing a premature stall because the learning was done at the steady state speed of 10000 PPS. You can try with higher Acceleration Rate setting 50000 PPSPS or test with no acceleration, Starting, Target and Stopping speeds all at 10000 PPS. Also starting speed 2000 PPS, with current Acceleration rate it will take a longer time to reach target and give false stall reading.  

    You can also try setting the Stall threshold mode for stall detection and set a lower than 1.8 V for example 1 V or even lower for fine tuning threshold.
