• This manual includes introduction of Development Kit and guidelines of wiring connection of VFD-CB (control board) to implement the operation of BLDC motors. The manual also illustrates design and generation of the firmware for VFD-CB, and programming procedure to MCU of VFD-CB in Appendix, to acquire on/off, speed, and direction controls of BLDC motors.
Start by thoroughly reading the user manual provided with the VFD development kit. It contains vital information specific to critical components. Use the VFD kit in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the workspace free of dust, moisture, and conductive materials.
2. Kit Introduction The major components in the kit include VFD-200C-230, VFD-CB, BLDC motor, iMotion Programmer, and connection wiring. 2.1 Critical Components: Output Terminal VFD-200C-230 is a universal VFD power module, which is suitable for high voltage class motors. • For more information, please visit: https://www.meanwellusa.com/webapp/prod...
This system can be implemented for a three-phase motor drive solution by coordinating with a VFD-CB in logic level and analog I/O. The power stage input is single phase full range from 90VAC to 264VAC. The three-phase motor output is up to...
3.2 Connection Explanation • Hall-sensing BLDC motors equipped with two sets wiring: power wires phase U, V, W connect to U, V, W terminals of VFD power supply accordingly. hall wires Hu, Hv, HW, VCC, GND connect to Control Pin (CN22) accordingly.

Step 8: Enter BLDC motor stator resistance. • To measure stator resistance Rs, or so-called phase resistance, use multi-meter/LCR-meter to measure every two phases resistance (U-V, U-W, V-W), calculate the avg of 3 resistance values, then divided by 2. A1.6 Ventilation plate For example: Step 9: Enter BLDC motor q-channel and d-channel equivalent inductance—Lq and Ld.

Analog inputs must be enabled through parameter questions, see Infineon software manual. Define GPIO pins as input or output. Two custom script functions (tasks) can be defined using C like language. Tasks can be created to read analog (ADC) pins, read/write digital (GPIO) pins and MCE parameter registers.
