Quick Start

First steps

To connect the MC110 to a PC, use the RS-232 or RS-485 port. If the computer has not a serial port, a RS-232 or RS-485 to USB converter can be employed. The serial pins are explained in the Pinout section.

Basic Connection Diagram

For further information on the Dev Harness MC110 connectors, refer to the Dev Harness MC110 2.0 - Hardware Installation section of the present manual.

Warnings

When installing the MC110 speed controller in the vehicle, the following limitations shall be considered:

• It is highly recommended to reduce the distance between the MC110 and the motor in order to reduce the high rate of voltage changes (dV/dt) and the electromagnetic radiation. Additionally it is highly recommended to shield the phase cables and connect this shield to the motor stator and to the MC110 metal case.
• Wire connections between power devices must be crimped not soldered.
• The cold plate is integrated with the MC110, but it requires the rest of refrigeration elements. To know how to choose them, read the Cooling Circuit Sizing - Integration examples section of this manual.
• PID tuning is strongly not recommended, since it nullifies the warranty.
• An unappropriated use of the MC110 exempts Embention from responsabilities related to any damage.
• Embention shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability in any manner for and in respect of any inappropriate use by the client, such as (including but not limited to) not implementing an appropiate cooling circuit, applying according to the indications given by Embention.

Requirements

A cooling circuit is required to refrigerate the MC110, since the cold plate is integrated, but not the rest of elements.
