MCEDesigner should automatically connect to the EVAL-M1-183M 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)
To Import Drive System Parameter file into internal SRAM of iMOTION
™
IC IRMC183, please Click “File” and
select “Import Drive Parameters”. Browse and select the Drive Parameters .txt file created in 5.1 step 7, and
finally click configure Motor button to import drive parameters.
After Drive System Parameter file has been programmed into IRMC183 controller, and the motor drive system is
powered, the MCEDesigner can be used to start/stop the motor, display motor current traces, change the motor
speed, modify drive parameters and many other functions. Please refer to the MCEDesigner documentation for
more details.
Note:
The MCETOOLV2 is galvanically isolated from the controller portion and the attached power board.
In order to program the parameters or firmware to the IRMC183 controller, the 3.3V DC voltage
needs to be supplied to the controller portion of the EVAL-M1-183M. This voltage can either be
supplied by the power board (MADK power boards are designed to supply the 3.3V to the control
board through M1 or M3 connector) or by feeding the 3.3V DC voltage to the control board through
some of the available 3.3V access/test points if the power board is not attached to the EVAL-M1-
183M control board.
