Getting Started with EVAL-M1-36-84A
In order to run the motor system, a combination of the iMOTION
™
MADK power board EVAL-M1-36-84A and the
matching MADK control board (with M1 connector, EVAL-M1-101T for example in this chapter) is required. The
iMOTION
™
Software Tools MCEDesigner and MCEWizard are also required in order to initially 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.
5.1
Setting up the system
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 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 as well as MCEWizard and
MCEDesigner documentation for more information.

System connection example using EVAL-M1-101T and EVAL-M1-36-84A
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-M1-36-84A,
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 5.2.1 or MCEWizard User
Guide for more details.
5. Connect motor phase outputs to the motor.
