Getting Started with EVAL-M1-183M
4. Connect EVAL-M1-183M’s M1 20-pin interface connector (J3) to power board (For example EVAL-M1-05-65D,
see Figure 4).
5. Connect USB-UART connector on the MCETOOLV2 to the PC via USB cable.
6. Connect UART connector on the MCETOOLV2 to the UART Connecter J2 on the control board EVAL-M1-183M
via UART cable.
7. 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 5.2.2 or MCEWizard User
Guide for more details.
8. Connect motor phase outputs to the motor.
9. Connect AC power to power input connector and power on system.
10. Start MCEDesigner tool and open MCEDesigner default configuration file (.irc) for IRMCF183 controller
(IRMCS1183-1-D_R35.irc) by clicking “File” > “Open”. IRMCS1183-1-D_R35.irc is included in the iMotion
default document folder “C:\Users\xxx\Documents\iMotion\IRMCS1183-1-D” after installed the 100 Series
Installer.
11. MCEDesigner should automatically connect to the EVAL-M1-101T control board using default COM port
(Indicated by green circle next to “COMx Up” status in the bottom frame of the MCEDesigner GUI). If it
cannot establish the connection, change COM port by doing following steps: (“System” window active) >
Preferences > Connection > Connect using (Chose one of the other available COM ports from the drop-down
menu).
12. Use following steps to import the drive parameters into the internal SRAM of iMOTION
™
IC: Click “File” and
select “Import Drive Parameters”. Browse and select the Drive Parameters .txt file created in step 7, and
finally Click Configure Motor button to import drive parameters. See chapter MCEDesigner setup overview
5.2.3 for more details.
13. Start the motor by clicking the green traffic light button in the control bar.
