5 Summary

Reliable spin-up irrespective of motor initial state is critical and depends on settings of the pre-startup parameters. Pre-startup tuning allows users to use features like resynchronization and reverse drive to motor to commanded velocity irrespective of initial speed and direction. Based on end application and motor parameters, this is crucial to tune the pre-startup to extract best performance. This application note provides an approachable guide to help tune BLDC motor pre-startup.
