This section is designed to input the basic data of your motor in the Control widget (green square in the picture below):
If you are interested in learning more about the parameters configured in this step, please refer to the firmware manual documentation: Motor and brake.
Parameters to configure:
-
Pole pairs → number of pole pairs that your brushless motor has. If datasheets number of total poles, divide that number by 2. If using a brushed DC motor, this parameter is irrelevant.
-
Rated current → rated current of your motor in A
-
Control mode:
-
0 or "Three-phase field-oriented control"→ Three-phase field-oriented control (Brushless AC). Ideal when incremental encoder, SSI or BiSS-C is the commutation sensor.
-
1 or "Three-phase trapezoidal control" → Three-phase trapezoidal control (Brushless DC). It can only be used when Digital halls are the commutation sensor.
-
2 or "Single-phase control" → for brushed DC motors.
-
Once these 3 parameters are set, you can proceed to the next step.
