Board Manager documentation is out !

The documentation of the Board descriptions format is now available on Motor Control Boards Description Wiki page, this documentation is compatible with MCSDK versions from 6.1.2. Board Descriptions are used by the ST motor-control workbench to enabl...

How to write a Motor control post to get a response quickly

In order to have a quick response to your forum posts, the best way to ask the question is:- Give the version of the MCSDK used. - Say if the problem concerns a tool (MC Workbench, Motor Pilot, Motor Profiler, etc...) - Provide picture of tools inter...

Why does my motor not reach setted speed when load is too heavy, and why does SDK 5 not stop motor by speed feedback error?

I'm a newbie in motor control. I'm working on STSPIN32F0A for control a 24V BLDC motor.It was very simple configure e control the motor at different speed (2900 to 3400 rpm) with no load. I've got only some measure(rpm / phase current / torque / powe...

Hi, I need to apply HFI for controlling a sensorless BLDC motor in low speed. However, the speed sensor option of 'HFI+Observer' in the STM32 SDK 5.3.1 workbench is not supported. How to address this problem? Thanks!

Torque control issues with Nucleo F446 and X-Nucleo IHM07M1

Hello All,I am using the Motor Control SDK and Workbench with the Nucleo F446 evaluation board and X-Nucleo IHM07M1 motor driver board, together with a PMSM 8 pole servo motor.The issue I have is that when I set the torque ref (Iq) to > 0 and flux re...

HFI function

Why can not use the HFI function in SDK5.2.0? But I found the file hifreqinj_fpu_ctrl.c in the lib.

ST Motor Control Workbench failes to generate project with "Unable to deploy MotorControl reference pack"

I have installed MCSDK_v5.3.3 on my Win10 machine. I open example project P-NUCLEO-IHM001-BullRunning.stmcx, save it in a new folder as suggested and click the Generate icon. The "Project generation" finds all my installed STM32CubeMX (4.27.0, 5.1.0)...

How to configure maximum motor power indicator in Motor Control Workbench Software

I am developing a motor controller with version 5.3.3 of the MC SDK.In the Basic tab of the Monitor, there is a Motor Power (W) indicator:It has an upper limit of 200 Watts.On the Registers tab, the same info can be seen:My question is, where does th...

Does ST FOC SDK support generator mode?

Hi, dear all!I am curious about the current functionality of FOC SDK.I checked that in ST Motor Control Workbench does support over voltage protection and a brake resistor can be used to dissipate the power.But I am curious about whether or not the ...

STM32 FOC Motor Control SDK: Motor RPM limit in torque control mode possible?

In our application, we need a PMSM motor to run mostly in torque control mode.However, we also want to have a RPM limit in certain operating conditions.With the FOC library v5.4.0 (running on a Nucleo-F302RB), I coudn't get this behavior to work.In t...

Resolved! Motor doesn't spin on a STM32F04ZE custom board passing from MC-MDK 4.0 to MC-MDK 5.4.0

Hi,I'm working on a project trying to port an old FOC SDK 4.0 based application on a new MC-SDK 5.4.0 one. The job is done on a STM32F407ZE board where previously the use of FOC 4.0 allows to spin a brushless PMSM motor at various mechanicalspeeds. A...

What is the reason for compile errors with STM32CubeIDE for STEVAL-SPIN3201 and STEVAL-ESC001V1 sample programs that are unable to find modules even though the libraries with the "missing" modules are in the includes?

Compile error is: make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'C:/Users/david/STM32CubeIDE/workspace_1.1.0/SPIN3201/SDK5x - STEVAL-SPIN3201 - BullRunning/Drivers/STM32F0xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32f0xx_hal_exti.c', needed by 'Drivers/STM32F0xx_HAL_Driver/stm32f0x...
