Motor Control and Drive Design Solutions
These software plug-in tools included with MPLAB X IDE
assist with the development of motor control applications:
■ Data Monitor and Control Interface (DMCI): Provides a
customizable GUI to input and adjust software motor
parameters using sliders and switches. Four
customizable output plots can be used to show a
graphical history of control variables so that the motor
dynamic response can by analyzed. This tool is useful
for tweaking software parameters and visualizing
historical data during debug sessions. Most motor
control application note software comes with a setup
fi le to automatically confi gure DMCI for the application.
■ Real-Time Data Monitor (RTDM): Make a change to a
software parameter and see the effect immediately
without stopping the motor. A serial USB or UART cable
supports bi-directional data transfers between the host
PC and the MCU/DSC. This is confi gured within DMCI
and most motor control application note software
comes with a setup fi le to automatically confi gure
RTDM for the application.
