7.3.14 Motor Parameter Extraction Tool (MPET)

The MCF8329HS-Q1 uses motor winding resistance, motor winding inductance and Back-EMF constant to estimate motor position in closed loop operation. The MPET routine measures motor back EMF constant and mechanical load inertia and frictional coefficients. Offline measurement of parameters takes place before normal motor operation. TI recommends to estimate the motor parameters before motor start-up to minimize the impact caused due to possible parameter variations.

Figure 7-38 shows the sequence of operation in the MPET routine. The MPET routine is entered when either the MPET_CMD bit is set to 1b or a non-zero target speed is set. The MPET routine consists of three steps namely, Open Loop Acceleration, Current Ramp Down and Coasting. Each one of these steps are executed if the condition shown in Figure 7-38 evaluates to TRUE; if the condition evaluates to FALSE, the algorithm bypasses that particular step and moves on to the next step in the sequence. Once all the steps are completed (or bypassed), the algorithm exits the MPET routine. If target speed is set to a non-zero value, the algorithm begins the start-up and acceleration sequence (to target speed reference) once MPET routine is exited.

MCF8329HS-Q1 MPET SequenceFigure 7-38 MPET Sequence

TI proprietary MPET routine includes following sequence of operation.

  • Open loop Acceleration: The MPET routine runs align and then open loop acceleration if the back-EMF constant or mechanical parameter measurement are enabled by setting MPET_KE = 1b and MPET_MECH = 1b. The MPET routine incorporates the sequences for mechanical parameter measurement, if the speed loop PI constants are defined as zero, even if MPET_MECH = 0b. This routine uses normal motor operation open loop configuration parameters. The speed slew rate is set by OL_ACC_A1 and OL_ACC_A2, current reference is set by OL_ILIMIT and speed reference is set by OPN_CL_HANDOFF_THR.
  • Current Ramp Down: After open loop acceleration, if the mechanical parameter measurement is enabled, then the MPET routine optimizes the motor current to lower value sufficient to support the load. If mechanical parameter measurement is disabled (MPET_MECH = 0b, or non-zero speed loop PI parameters) then the MPET will not have the current ramp down sequence.
  • Coasting: MPET routine completes the sequence by allowing the motor to coast by enabling Hi-Z. The motor back EMF and indicative values of mechanical parameters are measured during the motor coasting period. If the motor back EMF is lower than the threshold defined in STAT_DETECT_THR, the MPET_BEMF_FAULT is generated.

Selecting the parameters from EEPROM or MPET

The MPET estimated values are available in the MTR_PARAMS Register. Setting the MPET_WRITE_SHADOW bit to 1, writes the MPET estimated values to the shadow registers and the user-configured (from EEPROM) values in MOTOR_BEMF_CONST, SPD_LOOP_KP and SPD_LOOP_KI shadow registers will be overwritten by the estimated values from MPET. If any of the shadow registers are initialized to zero (from EEPROM registers), the MPET estimated values are used for those registers independent of the MPET_WRITE_SHADOW setting. The MPET calculates the current loop KP and KI by using the user entered resistance and inductance. The MPET does an estimation of the mechanical parameters including the inertia and frictional coefficient at the shaft (includes both motor and shaft coupled load). These values are used to set an initial values speed loop KP and KI. The estimated speed loop KP and KI setting can be used as an initial setting only and TI recommends to tune these parameters on application by the user based on the performance requirement.

Note:
  1. FG signal is not accurate during MPET.
  2. If CURRENT_LOOP_KP and CURRENT_LOOP_KI are set to zero, then MCF8329HS-Q1 automatically calculates these coefficients using motor resistance and inductance values.
