Application Control in FreeMASTER
The FreeMASTER run-time debugging tool is used to control the application and
monitor application variables during run-time. An explanation on how to use the
FreeMASTER user interface is given below.
1.
Click the
Output Control
button in the
Output Channel
section or press
switch
SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5
to control each output state. The output states
are
OFF, ON
or
TOGGLE.
2.
To change the PWM duty cycle of the outputs using only the FreeMASTER
sliders, click in the
FreeMASTER PWM Control
button located in the
General
Settings
section. Button must be in
ON
state. When button state is
OFF
the
duty cycle of the outputs can be controlled only using the potentiometers
R18,
R89, R90,
and
R91.
3.
Change the PWM duty cycle of the outputs by moving the
PWM Duty Cycle
slider of each output.
4.
In case of an output fault, the corresponding fault label will turn red in the
Diagnostic and Status Flags
section of each output.
5.
General faults flags and operation mode of the system are indicated in the
General Settings
section. By default the operation mode is
Normal Mode.
6.
In case of an under voltage fault, stop the FreeMASTER communication by
clicking the red
STOP
button. Remove the under voltage condition. Start the
FreeMASTER communication by clicking the red
STOP
button. The
Fault
Status
and the
Under Voltage
label will turn red and the outputs will be off.
To remove this fault click on the
Clear Under Voltage Fault
button or press
any switch
SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5
on the board, to return the system to its
Normal Mode.
