The P-NUCLEO-IHM001 Motor-Control Nucleo Pack from STMicroelectronics in combination with new software elements from the STM32 Motor Control Ecosystem enables users to ‘plug and spin’ synchronous motors without any dedicated skills or additional equipment. The pack contains everything required to get started, an STM32 F3 Nucleo microcontroller board (NUCLEO-F302R8), plug-in 48V/1.4A motor-driver board based on the STSPIN L6230 motor-driver IC (X-NUCLEO-IHM07M1), and a low-voltage brushless motor in a convenient blister pack.
After connecting together the boards and motor, the motor is ready to run using the sample 6-step (Trapezoidal Control) or sinusoidal FOC (Field Oriented Control) algorithms that are pre-loaded on the microcontroller. With the motor running, users can compare and understand control techniques, and then customize the controller (in the FOC mode) by changing settings with MC WORKBENCH configurator and code generator.
The FREE, PC-based MC WORKBENCH tool simplifies customizing motor-control libraries (STSW-STM32100), and can also help the user set up a different motor or a different driver board from ST’s Motor Control Ecosystem. The latest library version (v4.2) introduces a convenient “Motor Profiler”, which automatically detects the motor parameters for self-configuration of the motor-control library with zero additional equipment needed, and “One-Touch Tuning” that simplifies adjustment for load and inertia over a wide speed range. The MC WORKBENCH tool can be downloaded here for FREE.
The STM32F302 microcontroller at the heart of the Motor-Control Nucleo Pack has high arithmetic performance with its DSP extensions for superior feedback-loop control and integrates valuable peripherals including a dedicated motor-control timer, op-amp, and comparators. The pre-loaded sample algorithms are standard firmware from ST’s motor-control library and STM32Cube tool, and can be customized as required. Like the entire motor-control library, they are available in source code free of charge and can be used on most STM32 devices and various hardware boards.
An external power supply (8 V min; 12 V max) is required to power the kit. It does not require any separate probe as it integrates the ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger and programmer.
