Getting Started with EVAL-M3-102T

In order to run the motor system, a combination of the iMOTION™ MADK control board (EVAL-M3-102T) and the

matching MADK power board (with M3 connector) is required. The iMOTION™ Software Tools MCEDesigner and

MCEWizard are also required in order to initialy 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.

4.1

Setting up the system

EVAL-M3-102T consists of several functional groups which enable out-of-the-box, fully functional motor control

system combined with additional interfaces and test points for more advanced use cases. Figure 4 shows the

functional groups of the EVAL-M3-102T evaluation board.

After downloading and installing the iMOTION™ PC Tools (MCEWizard and MCEDesigner), following steps needs

to be executed in order to run the motor. Refer to chapters 0 and 4.2.2 as well as MCEWizard and MCEDesigner

documentation for more information.

web page.

2. Connect PC-USB connector on the on-board-debugger to the PC via USB cable.

3. Connect EVAL-M3-102T’s M3 30-pin interface connector (J1) to power board (For example EVAL-M3-

CM615PN, 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
