Evaluation Board for BLDC Sensorless motor

Posted on May 17, 2011 at 10:14

Has anyone an idea which evaluation board to use for developing motor control applications with the ST7 micro controller.

I have a motor with the following specs:

200W 36V Brush less sensor less DC Motor

The STEVAL-IHM001V1 looks good but the power board: STEVAL-IHM003V1 can't seem to drive motors less the 50V DC

I've found an application note of a ideal board for my application: UM0432

But I can't find a place to buy the board.

Can anyone help me?

With kind regards

Good Afternoon,

I have a STEVAL-IHM015V1 and I am trying to control a sensorless BLDC application.

But I cannot find the LV ST7MC GUI specific software for this board. The cd I have received had only the RDK GUI for the ControlBD-7FMC2 that have the option of three diferent power board.

Does anyone know a ST7MC GUI that I can use with this board? I also have found the STEVAL-IHM017V1 gui that seems compatible, but I am still concerned with current limitation problems..

Thank you

Dear user,

the board (whose order code is STEVAL-IHM015V1) described in UM0432 is now sold out. We count to have it again in stock shortly.

By the way, for this kind of board, I advise you to contact your nearest STMicroelectronics sales office (or any ST products provider) for getting the system.

With my best regards,

Tanio
