iMOTION™ starter kit for iMOTIONTM design platform

About this document

Scope and purpose

This application note provides an overview of the evaluation board iMOTION2go including its main features,

key technical data, pin assignments and mechanical dimensions.

iMOTION2go is a full motor-control system starter kit including an IMC101T-T038 controller, an inverter IPM and

a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor load, which provides a ready-to-use hardware setup for using the

iMOTIONTM design platform, MCEDesigner and MCEWizard. It also comprises other necessary

software/parameter configurations required for directly running a motor with the iMOTIONTM motor-tuning

tool, MCEDesigner, to evaluate all the features of the iMOTIONTM design ecosystem.

The IMOTION2go starter kit was developed to support customers during their first steps designing applications

with the iMOTIONTM design ecosystem. It also can be used by engineers to debug their script code.

The starter kit iMOTION2go is not intended to be used for real motor-control application designs such as

a home appliance and/or light industrial application field.

Intended audience

This application note is intended for all electrical engineers who are interested in evaluating Infineon iMOTION

motor-control products, in particular iMOTION tools and software. The iMOTION2go evaluation board is

intended to be used with a PC (plugged into the USB port of a PC) under no-load motor conditions.

Safety precautions

1Safety precautions

Please note the following warnings regarding hazards associated with development systems.

Table 1 Precautions

Caution: The iMOTION2GO system contains parts and assemblies sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required when

installing, testing, servicing or repairing the assembly. Component damage may result

if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with electrostatic

control procedures, refer to the applicable ESD protection handbooks and guidelines.

Caution: Bad handling or application errors such as touching the motor winding wire,

clamping the motor, bending the board, supplying an incorrect or inadequate DC

supply, or excessive ambient temperatures may result in system malfunction.

Caution: The iMOTION2GO system is designed for software tools learning and

practicing. It is not a hardware design reference for a power load. Operating with any

additional load may cause board malfunction or damage.

Introduction

2Introduction

The iMOTION2go starter kit is designed to present an easy-to-use motor drive solution based on Infineon's

iMOTIONTM controller and design platform. The board contains a USB interface, a DC/DC converter, an IMC

controller, an IPM, and a 3-phase BLDC motor.

The features of this board are described in the design feature chapter of this document, whereas the remaining

paragraphs provide information to help users to copy, modify and qualify the design for production according to

their own specific requirements.

The boards provided by Infineon are only subject to MCEDesigner & MCEWizard functional testing.

This board is intended to be used under no load conditions and only for purpose of evaluating iMOTION motor

control software and tools.

The block diagram of the iMOTION2go is depicted in Figure 1.

and MCEWizard. The main features of MCEWizard include:

Creation of parameter sets for full motor control system

Design of a script code for application adaption

Configuration for individual digital pins and analog pins

The main features of MCEDesigner include:

Programming and updating of code/parameters to controller IC

Controlling, monitoring and tuning of the motor drive system

Setup of a function that commands speed profiles for testing of specific application

The main characteristics of the demo board include:

Entire motor control system

Powered by PCB USB output

No hardware setup needed

Algorithm integrated in IMC101 iMOTION motor controller

System parameters pre-configured for instantaneous start of the motor

Pre-loaded with script that runs the varying speed demo

Free software tools for system monitoring and tuning

On-board-debugger chip for communication and programming of IMC101T chip
