Tool/software:
Dear TI Team,
we have developed a ESC using 4 MCT8329A chips on a single PCB, and it has been working great so far. I am currently evaluating some test runs, and would like to ask some clarification in the four motor state bits found within the SYS_STATUS2 register.
There are some states which are pretty self explanatory, such as the MOTOR_BRAKE, MOTOR_IDLE, MOTOR_ALIGN, MOTOR_IPD, MOTOR_STOP, FAULT states, however I am a little unclear on the others. As an example, what is the difference between SYSTEM_IDLE and MOTOR_IDLE, during testing some SYSTEM_IDLE states were detected following a motor command of 0%, and sometimes a MOTOR_IDLE is reported instead.
Additionally, I would like to ask if there is a way to determine if the motor is in open or closed loop based on the system state. Does the MOTOR_RUN state include both open and closed loop operation, or are they separate states?
Thank You for Your time,
Simon Calvini
