STR750 Motor control starter kit


The STR750F microcontrollers with dedicated motor control peripherals and powerful ARM7TDMI™ core offer the computing power developers need for vector based control of 3-phase brushless motors.

For developers of STR750F-based motor control applications, the STR750 Motor control starter kit (STR750-MCKIT) provides a complete development platform with all the hardware and software required to get applications started on the right foot, and shorten time to market by allowing developers to apply what they learn in the evaluation phase to real-world applications.

The kit comes ready to run a PMSM motor (included) or AC induction motor (accessory). simply power up the application hardware and explore all the different motor control parameters either in "Stand-alone" mode or using the included graphical interface while connected to a host PC. The Segger J-Link is included in the kit for connection to a host PC via a standard 20-pin JTAG connection. When connected to a host PC, the opto-isolation board provides galvanic isolation for the host PC and development tools on the 20-pin industry-standard JTAG connection.

The kit includes PMSM and AC induction motor control libraries to facilitate implementation of the family's motor control peripherals. The libraries can be built using the Free IAR Embedded Workbench (EWARM) KickStart edition (32K code-size limited), which includes the IAR C/C++ compiler.

When users are ready to develop their own applications, the kit also serves as a platform for developing fully functional motor control applications without having to create a hardware design from scratch. The kit includes the application C sources, which can be modified, rebuilt and debugged with the included Segger J-Link and a development environment for ARM.

 
Features and Benefits

The kit comes complete with:

24V DC Shinano PMSM 3-phase brushless motor

Motor control evaluation board (MB459)

STR750 evaluation board (STR750-EVAL) with STR750F device preprogrammed with PMSM motor control application (stand-alone operation), motor control connector, 2 x 16 LCD and user controls (push buttons, joystick, potentiometer, etc.)

Opto-isolation board for galvanic isolation on 20-pin JTAG connection between application boards and development tools

Segger J-Link USB/JTAG in-circuit debugger/programmer

USB cable

Software CD with:

 

– PMSM and AC induction software libraries

– Executables and C sources for the PMSM and AC induction demonstration applications


The following are not included in the STR750-MCKIT:

•  24V power supply for the motor control board (MB459). A compatible power supply can be ordered from any electronics distributor.
•  24V AC induction motor is available from ST as an accessory. Order code: ST7MC-MOT/IND.
•  Integrated development environment and C/C++ compiler for ARM devices are available from a range of third-party tool providers. The motor control demonstration software has been design so that it can be recompiled using the IAR EWARM, KickStart edition (32K code size limited). For download refer to the IAR downloads site.
