YROTATE-IT-RX62T

Low Cost Motor Control Kit based on RX62T

Introduction

The Renesas Motor Control Kit, YROTATE-IT-RX62T, is based on the RX62T device from the powerful 32-bit

RX microcontroller family.

The kit enables engineers to easily test and evaluate the performance of the RX62T in a laboratory

environment when driving any 3-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (e.g. AC Brushless Motor)

using an advanced sensorless Field Oriented Control algorithm. Typical applications for this type of solution

are compressors, air conditioning, fans, air extractors, pumps and industrial drives.

The phase current measurement is done via three shunts which offers a low cost solution, avoiding the

need for an expensive current sensor. A single shunt current reading method is also available.

The powerful user-friendly PC Graphical User Interface (GUI) gives real time access to key motor

performance parameters and provides a unique motor auto-tuning facility.

The hardware is designed for easy access to key system test points and for the ability to hook up to an

RX62T debugger. Although the board is normally powered directly from the USB port of a Host PC,

connectors are provided to utilise external power supplies where required.

The YROTATE-IT-RX62T is an ideal tool to check out all the key performance parameters of your selected

motor, before embarking on a final end application system design.
