STM32100B-MCKIT motor control starter kit

Introduction

The STM32100B-MCKIT starter kit is an integrated system designed to provide a complete,

ready-to-use motor control application developed around the STMicroelectronics

STM32F100 microcontroller. This starter kit is particularly suited to drive three-phase

brushless permanent magnet synchronous motors and demonstrates how effectively the

low-cost STM32F100 microcontrollers can be used in cost-optimized real-world motor

control applications. For evaluation of higher performance systems, STM3210B-MCKIT

(based on STM32F103 microcontroller) may be used.

The STM32100B-MCKIT supports Field Oriented Control (FOC) drive of three-phase

permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). Single-shunt resistor current

measurement is supported out-of-the-box allowing closed loop torque control. Position

measurement can be implemented using quadrature encoder sensors, Hall effect sensors

or sensorless algorithms.

You can run the STM32100B-MCKIT starter kit in two ways:

■

As a plug-and play, out-of-the-box, demo with the provided PMSM motor, in sensorless

torque or speed control mode.

■

In conjunction with a third-party IDE and C compiler, as a development kit for creating your

own motor control application based on STM32F100.

The CD ROM in the STM32100B-MCKIT contains all relevant manuals and related

documentation including:

■

STM32F100 microcontroller datasheets.

■

STM32 evaluation boards features, peripherals, and connectors are described in the

STM32100B-EVAL user manual (UM0841).

■

STM32 PMSM FOC MC library (also referenced as STM32 PMSM FOC SDK), its

customization and the default program flashed onto the STM32F100B-EVAL, are

described in the Quick start guide for STM32F103xx/STM32F100xx PMSM single/dual

FOC SDK V3.0 (UM1080).

■

STM32 PMSM FOC MC library usage is described in the STM32 FOC PMSM firmware

library user and developer manuals (UM1052 and UM1053, respectively).

In this manual, you will find information on:

■

The STM32100B-MCKIT starter kit components.

■

How to set up the hardware to run the provided PMSM motor.
