Getting Started with EVAL-M1-101T

In order to run the motor system, a combination of the iMOTION™ MADK control board (EVAL-M1-101T) and the

matching MADK power board (with M1 connector) is required. The iMOTION™ Software Tools MCEDesigner and

MCEWizard are also required in order to initialy setup the system, as well as to control and fine-tune the system

performance to match users exact needs. This chapter provides more details on setting up the system and

getting started with iMOTION™ MADK development platform.

4.1

Setting up the system

EVAL-M1-101T consists of several functional groups which enable out-of-the-box, fully functional motor control

system combined with additional interfaces and test points for more advanced use cases. Figure 4 shows the

functional groups of the EVAL-M1-101T evaluation board.

After downloading and installing the iMOTION™ PC Tools (MCEWizard and MCEDesigner), following steps need

to be executed in order to run the motor. Refer to chapters 0 and 4.2.2 as well as MCEWizard and MCEDesigner

documentation for more information.

1. Get the latest ”IMC101T-T038 MCE Software Package” available on www.infineon.com/imotion-software

web page.

2. Connect PC-USB connector on the on-board-debugger to the PC via USB cable.

3. Connect EVAL-M1-101T’s M1 20-pin interface connector (J2) to power board (For example EVAL-M1-05-65D,

see Figure 5).

4. Use MCEWizard to enter the target motor’s system and operating parameters, as well as evaluation board’s

hardware parameters, which will then be used to calculate controller’s digital parameter set representing

complete motor drive system. First click “Calculate” button on the “Verify & Save Page” and then save the

drive parameter set into your project directory by clicking “Export to Designer file (.txt)”. Saved Drive

System Parameter File will be later used by the MCEDesigner. Refer to Chapter 4.2.1 or MCEWizard User

Guide for more details.

5. Connect motor phase outputs to the motor.

6. Connect AC power to power input connector and power on system.
