YMCRPRX62T: RX62T Motor Control Evaluation Kit Quick Start Guide 1. Introduction The goal of this Quick Start Guide is to get the RX62T motor kit quickly up and running. The RX62T microcontroller is pre‐programmed to run the “Three‐shunt Sensorless Vector Control with External Amplifier” algorithm. The user needs to connect the motor and the power supply to get started. Caution : Do not connect power to the board until all instructions are followed. The kit contains the following items: • RX62T Motor Control Board • BLDC Motor with a 3‐way connector and encoder cable • 24V DC Power Supply • E1 Debugger • Mini USB cable ...
YMCRPRX62T: RX62T Motor Control Evaluation Kit Quick Start Guide 3. Board operation Before supplying power to the board, verify that the jumper settings match the setting shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 Default Jumper Settings The default algorithm loaded into the RX62T flash memory is the “Three‐shunt Sensorless Vector Control with External Amplifier.” The board can be operated in Standalone mode or in PC‐GUI mode. The Standalone mode is discussed next, followed by the PC –GUI mode. 2 Renesas Electronics D011033_11_V0100 ...
YMCRPRX62T: RX62T Motor Control Evaluation Kit Quick Start Guide 4. Standalone mode After verifying that the jumpers are set correctly as shown in Figure 2, please proceed with the following steps: 1. Connect the motor to J8 2. Connect the power supply to J3 and observe the following: • LEDs DL5 and DL9 should be ‘ON’ indicating the presence of 5V and 12V supply • The LCD should display the Renesas logo and board information 3. Press and hold P4 “MODE” while pressing and releasing “RESET” button P6. • The LCD will display the logo screen again and after two seconds will switch to the first operating page showing: “REF_RPM”, “MEC_RPM”, “EL_FREQ” and “DC_BUS_V” as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 LCD Screen after Step 3 4. Set reference RPM using the thumbwheel potentiometer to 2000 RPM • Confirm that the reference REF_RPM value changes on LCD screen 5. Press “START/STOP” once ...
