Motor

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.
