2.2 MCP8063 12V 3-PHASE BLDC SENSORLESS FAN CONTROLLER DEMONSTRATION BOARD KIT SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION

The MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board Kit software window contains three tabs:

• Control: provides the options available for controlling and monitoring the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board
• Measurement Settings
• Measurement Results

2.2.1 Control Tab

Figure 2-7 shows the options and functions available for controlling and monitoring the board.

Note: All functions presented in Figure 2-7 are enabled only when the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board is connected to the PC via a USB connection.

Legend:

1 = Power Control group box 5 = Instant current and speed measurement
2 = Speed Settings group box 6 = PWM duty cycle signal control
3 = Chart group box 7 = Fan driver power supply level control
4 = Current and speed chart display 8 = Buttons for access to other tabs

FIGURE 2-7: GUI - Control Tab.

2.2.1.1 POWER CONTROL

The Power Control group box includes the Turn On/Off Power Supply button which allows the power supply of the fan driver to be enabled/disabled.

Before enabling the fan driver power, verify that the input voltage level indicated for the board is between 16V to 20V. Running outside this range may work but stability cannot be ensured. The power supply part on the board is not able to generate a voltage level above the input voltage level.

The current is monitored and the fan driver power supply will shut down if the current goes above 2.5A.

2.2.1.2 SPEED SETTINGS

This group box allows monitoring the FG pin frequency from the fan driver in Hz. This frequency is converted to mechanical speed (Revolutions Per Minute - RPM). In order for the RPM mechanical speed to be displayed correctly, a 4P/6S fan (two pairs of poles) has to be plugged in. If the plugged motor contains a different number of poles, the value can be adapted so that the mechanical RPM is displayed correctly.

2.2.1.3 CHART

This section activates and controls the chart described in Section 2.2.1.4 "Display Chart". The chart adds 10 values per second. The three buttons have the following functions:

• Start/Stop – Allows the value acquisition to start or stop
• Clear – Removes all the values added to the chart
• Auto Scale – Allows the default scaling to be restored. In Default Scaling mode, the chart will automatically adjust the scaling to ensure the complete view of all the added values. In addition, when selecting a part of the chart with the mouse, it is possible to zoom in the selection. The mouse wheel zoom in/out is also enabled.

2.2.1.4 DISPLAY CHART

Once enabled, the chart will display the speed curve in RPM and the measured current curve in mA over time. The chart adds 10 values per second.

2.2.1.5 CURRENT AND SPEED INDICATOR

This part clearly shows the instant current consumption and the instant speed.

2.2.1.6 PWM PIN

The PWM Pin box provides a slide bar to set the PWM duty cycle on the fan driver PWM pin. The gauge corresponding to the PWN function indicates the PWM duty cycle currently applied by the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board.

2.2.1.7 FAN DRIVER POWER SUPPLY LEVEL CONTROL

The fan driver Power Supply Pin box features a slide bar that allows setting the desired voltage value for the fan driver. The gauge corresponding to the Power Supply function indicates the instant fan driver power supply value measured by the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board.

2.2.2 Measurement Settings Tab

The Measurement Settings tab features several tools for checking if the fan is correctly adapted to the fan driver by evaluating the fan behavior in different tests, several times and under different conditions.

Figure 2-8 shows the Measurement Settings tab. Next sections provide further details.

FIGURE 2-8: GUI - Measurement Settings Tab.

2.2.2.1 MEASUREMENT SETTINGS

The Measurement Settings group box is used for defining the measurement corners required by the user. Once the automatic measurement starts (see Section 2.2.2.5 "Measurement Control"), all specified corners will be assessed for all selected tests. The list below details the available corner settings:

• PWM Corners Measurement – Requires the PWM Max (%), PWM Step (%) and PWM Min (%) values setting. The software will start with the maximum value entered and will decrease the PWM by the step value until it reaches the minimum entered PWM value.
• Power Supply level corners are similar to the PWM corners. A power supply level corner includes all PWM corners. This means that all PWM corners are measured for one power supply voltage level.
• Startup check duration from Power-On [s] – If the speed of the fan is measured as 0 RPM after this delay, the startup is considered a fail. The recommended value for this field is five seconds.
• Waiting time between each iteration [s] – This field specifies how many seconds are allocated for stopping the fan between two tests. This value will depend on the fan lag.
• Number of iterations per corner – This field designates the number of iterations for one corner.

2.2.2.2 STARTUP TEST SETTINGS

When the Enable startup test box is checked, the startup measurements are enabled, measuring every corner for this test. If Enable startup test is not enabled, the startup test is skipped. The other tests will be executed if they have been enabled.

2.2.2.3 PWM CHANGE

The PWM Change measurement starts with a PWM value of 100%. After the specified startup delay (entered in the Startup check duration from Power-On [s] field), the PWM changes depending on the PWM corner specified. The software will then verify if the fan is still running. If a delay value has been entered into the Braking Delay [s] field, this last check will be performed after the respective delay.

To reduce testing time, it is possible to skip the fan restart if the last PWM change has been successfully done by selecting the Do not restart if PWM change success check box.

2.2.2.4 SPEED CURVE AND STABILITY

This measuring tool requires a specified number of samples under preset conditions to check speed stability. If the Do speed curve for the whole PWM range (100% to 5%, each 1%) and/or the Do speed curve for the whole PSM range (14V to 2V, each 0.1V) check boxes are not selected, the corners previously set are measured. For this test, the number of iterations will always be one. When one of these check boxes is selected, the software will override the specified settings.

This test will report the current average, the maximum and minimum measured speed, the stability in percentage (%) and the sigma variation.

2.2.2.5 MEASUREMENT CONTROL

This group box contains a check box and a button that allows the user to control the test work flow:

• Stop Measuring – Starts and stops the required tests.
• Autosave at the end of the measurements – If checked, a measurement result file will be automatically saved when all the tests have been done. See Section 2.2.3.1 “Measurement Results” for the file location.

2.2.3 Measurement Results tab

2.2.3.1 MEASUREMENT RESULTS

The user can manage the results of the tests by means of the three buttons in this group:

• Select location for result file – This opens a window which allows the user to set where the test result file will be stored. The user has to make sure that the selected location has write access. In addition, Microsoft Office ^® Excel ^® 2003 or later has to be installed in order for the MCP8063 12V 3-Phase BLDC Sensorless Fan Controller Demonstration Board Software to create a Microsoft Excel file. If Microsoft Excel is not installed, it is possible to copy the data from the result table and paste it into the appropriate software.
• Save current results – This button stores the current measurements displayed in the result table in a Microsoft Excel file.
• Clear All Results – This clears the current results displayed in the result table.

2.2.3.2 RESULT TABLE

The results are shown in this table.

The first six columns are common to all tests while the others are relevant only for a particular test.
