AN1078 Demonstration ReadMe for the
dsPICDEM™ MCLV-2 Development Board with the
dsPIC33EP256MC506 External Op Amp PIM (MPLAB 8)
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This document describes the setup requirements for running the Sensorless FOC algorithm with a
Slide Mode Controller, which is referenced in AN1078 "Sensorless Field Oriented Control of PMSM
Motors using dsPIC DSC" using a dsPICDEM™ MCLV-2 Development Board in the External Op
amp configuration.
1.2 SUGGESTED DEMONSTRATION REQUIREMENTS
MPLAB and C30 versions used:
• MPLAB version 8.84 (or later)
• C30 version 3.31 (or later)
Hardware used with part numbers, available from www.microchipdirect.com:
• dsPICDEM MCLV-2 Development Board (DM330021-2)
• dsPIC33EP256MC506 External Op amp PIM (MA330031-2)
• 24V Power supply (AC002013)
• 24V Hurst motor (AC300020)
1.3 HARDWARE SETUP
The following hardware setup allows the Sensorless FOC algorithm to run on the dsPICDEM
MCLV-2 Development Board using Op amps that are external to the dsPIC33EP256MC506 device.
1. With the dsPICDEM MCLV-2 Development Board disconnected, and making sure there is no
power, open the enclosure and set up the following jumpers:
Jumper Pins to Short Board Reference
JP1 1-2
JP2 1-2
JP3 1-2
JP4 USB position
JP5 USB position
J5 Don’t care
JP11 Don’t care
2. Connect the motor phases to the output header, J7. The winding color can be connected in any
order to M1, M2, and M3 since it is a sensorless control algorithm. The Green wire does not
have internal connection in the motor, so it can be left unconnected.
