2.2 Quick guide to spin with open-loop PWM

 

 

Step 1:

 Set these jumpers: 

 

 

Step 2:

 Connect the USB cable between the board and your computer, and run the GUI. 

 

Step 3:

 Wire the included motor to the terminal blocks: 

 

 

Step 4:

 Connect your power supply to the board VM and GND terminals.  Set the supply to 24V with at 

least 1A (higher current is better). 
 

Step 5:

 With the GUI loaded and no 

 symbols, set the PWM Duty Cycle to 40% and click ENABLE.  

The motor should spin! 
 
Next, 

  To change from counter-clockwise to clockwise, click DIR. 

  To change speed, use the duty cycle knob. 

  To apply sinusoidal commutation, first change MOD120 from 2048 to 3970, and then select 

180° Sine Commutation.  Note that when MOD120 = 3970, a 2.1x factor is applied to the input 
duty cycle, so a 40% duty cycle input is treated like 84%. 

 

To use no clock and command speed from a register, select “PWM from SPEED Register”.  
Then the SPEED decimal value divided by 4095 is the input duty cycle.
