STSPIN32F0B can be configured via ST motor control workbench?

Hello, I work on a STSPIN32F0B but a cannot find a way to configure it via ST motor control workbench software (STSPIN32F0B not present in MCU and Clock Frequency Selection window). I have found the STSPIN-3204 firmware package but I will use the STSPIN32F0B on a custom board and therefore it must be easily modified to correspond to our need. Is there a way to custom it easily like with ST motor control workbench.

Hi,

I confirm what already stated by Claire in the previous answers. Let my do a summary:

  • STEVAL-SPIN3201 based on STSPIN32F0 is a 3 shunt evaluation board compatible with:
    • FOC 3 shunt
    • 6STEP voltage mode (STSPIN32F0 miss the ETR features required by the current mode algorithm)
  • STEVAL-SPIN3202 based on STSPIN32F0A is a single shunt evaluation board compatible with:
    • FOC 1 shunt
    • 6STEP voltage mode and current mode
  • STEVAL-SPIN3204 based on STSPIN32F0B is a single shunt evaluation board compatible with:
    • 6STEP voltage mode and current mode

Sorry if the product pages caused you some confusion.

Hello FGron.1,

So far only the 6 step code example is available (the one you certainly found already).

We are working now on a more advanced version of the MCSDK allowing configuration of the 6 step inside the MC workbench. Please stay tuned!

Best regards,

Claire

Thanks for your quick answer.

So if I have well understood, the STSPIN32F0/A have other driving mode and therefore are usable with ST motor control workbench but STSPIN32F0B have only the 6-step mode and so isn't compatible with it?

This is a good question indeed.

My understanding is that STSPIN3204 board based on the STSPIN32F0B is focused on 6 step. But this is not the case for STSPIN3202 board based on the STSPIN32F0A (FOC also ok and code fully available in MCSDK).

But ST pages are not clear, I will ask STSPIN colleagues to clarify this point.

Thanks and best regards,

Claire

No problem. Thanks a lot for your answers this is clear for me now.

Coming back to your first question.

The STSPIN32F0B is suitable for the FOC algorithm, but at the moment a board supporting it is not available.

My suggestion is to develop and fine tune your control algorithm using the STEVAL-SPIN3202 based on the STSPIN32F0A and than resuse the same code on the STSPIN32F0B.

The only difference between STSPIN32F0A and STSPIN32F0B is the number of avaliable GPIOs.
