Software Changelog

This section presents the changes between the previous software version (v.6.12.35) and the current one (v.7.4).

Added

  • A new CAN-FD A Setup panel has been added to the Input/Output menu, allowing for the configuration of the high-speed CAN FD bus, including its separate Mailboxes and Baudrate settings.
  • A Thermistor Configuration panel has been introduced in the MC menu to allow for the setup and calibration of a thermistor for temperature readings.
  • An auto-calculation feature has been added to the FOC Controllers panel, which computes the PI gains automatically based on desired controller bandwidths.
  • New parameters for Maximum temperature and Temperature coefficient have been added to the Motor configuration panel.
  • The Fault Detection panel now includes a much more extensive list of configurable fault values and timings.
  • The Additional options tab belonging to the FOC Control panel has been significantly expanded with the following new parameters: Switching frequency, Invert spin direction, Enable regenerating limiting, and Limit Output Power.

Improved

  • The Sin Cos panel has been completely redesigned for sensor calibration. It now uses parameters like Offset, Amplitude gain, and Orthogonality gain instead of the previous ADC channel and voltage settings.
  • The process for adding connections in I/O Setup and CAN I/O is now dynamic. The user must press a + button to add new rows, replacing the previous static list of connections.
  • The main CAN I/O panel has been updated to clarify the new architecture: it now manages the low-level configuration for the Classic CAN (Port B) and the logical routing for both buses.
  • The Fault Detection panel is now better organized, splitting the configuration into Values Definition and Critical Faults Definition.

Changed

  • In the Open Loop Startup configuration, the Start-up Iq parameter has been replaced with Applied D-voltage.
  • In the Initial alignment panel, the Initial alignment flux current parameter has been replaced with Applied D-voltage.
  • The tabs for configuring the Quadrature, Direct, and Speed controllers are now grouped under the main FOC Controllers panel.

Removed

  • The Idle Speed and Idle Speed Hold Time parameters have been removed from the Additional options tab.
