Overview

Description

Renesas motor control reference design based on the Renesas RX 32-bit MCU RX66T and designed to drive up to three 3-phase Permanent Magnet Motors. The kit is able to manage up to 48 V DC motors, and up to 5A peak current. The kit is delivered with a USB cable and an intuitive PC GUI to manage the motor speed, display the vector control parameters and provide access to an exhaustive list of parameters: motor intrinsic parameters, PI coefficients, ...
