STR-ECS640A-GEVK: 600V BLDC Motor Control Development Kit

The ecoSpin TM ECS640A Motor Control Development Kit is available for customers to easily develop code for off-line variable-speed BLDC motor systems in the 50-600W range @230Vac. The Evaluation Board (EVB) can also be configured for 120Vac for up to 150W systems.

For quick spin-up and debug, the ecoSpin TM board ships with Direct Torque Flux Control software loaded onto the ecoSpin TM device and a GUI for motor/parameter/performance evaluation.
The Strata Product Developer Studio and collateral are available to allow the user to download and program sensorless trapezoidal control example libraries. A separate GUI is provided to interface to the board while running trapezoidal control of a BLDC motor. The GUI interfaces are described in further detail in the GUI User Interface Manual.
The ecoSpin TM Development Kit CMSIS-Pack includes two levels of drivers and example code for the microcontroller peripherals that are available in ECS640A. The micro peripheral drivers are available in two levels: a hardware abstraction layer (hw_drv_) and a comprehensive peripheral driver layer (drv_). Both driver offerings are provided in a CSIS pack and follow CMSIS compliant standards. These drivers include support for communication interfaces (SPI, UART, I2C), timers ((System Tick Timer, 16?bit General Purpose Timers (3), 32?bit Tick Timer, 32?bit Wakeup Timer, and Watchdog Timer), and the analog peripherals.
The Trapezoidal project can be used as a reference to allow for rapid code development to your specific motor and application. A base SDK is also available to allow customers to develop their own Trapezoidal, Sine, or FOC commutation code. Direct Torque and Flux Control (DTFC) from Theta Power Systems, International (TPSI) is loaded in the EVB when shipped, to allow for customer evaluation. DTFC firmware allows optimal motor performance on the Arm Cortex-M0+ platform. Customers will need to directly license DTFC code from Theta Power Systems, Intl.
