9.2.3.1.2.2.1.1 Tuning KMC_SCALE
  1. Obtain the value of actual ripple speed in rad/s using either of the two methods:
    1. Use an oscilloscope to observe motor current waveform to measure the ripple frequency. This can be done in two ways:
      • Through the IPROPI pin which provides an output proportional to the motor current.
      • Through a current probe.
      The frequency of ripples is observed in Hz on the oscilloscope. Please consider at least 20 ripples while calculating frequency. Divide the number of ripples by the time taken for calculating the frequency in Hz. Convert into rad/s using Equation 11. Please note that this is the recommended method.
    2. Use a tachometer to obtain the motor speed in rpm. Convert the motor speed into ripple speed using Equation 10. Finally, convert the ripple speed in rpm to ripple speed in rad/s using Equation 12.
    Equation 10. R i p p l e   S p e e d = M o t o r   S p e e d × N R
    Equation 11. R i p p l e   S p e e d   ( i n   r a d / s ) = R i p p l e   S p e e d   ( i n   H z ) × 2 π
    Equation 12. R i p p l e   S p e e d   ( i n   r a d / s ) = R i p p l e   S p e e d   ( i n   r p m ) × 2 π 60
    Where NR is the number of ripples per revolution. Let this value be called OBS_SPEED.
  2. Select the lowest value of KMC_SCALE, 00b. Set KMC to the highest possible value, 255.
  3. Refer to Table 8-24 to set W_SCALE to a value where maximum ripple speed is more than OBS_SPEED. For example, if OBS_SPEED is 6000 rad/s, set W_SCALE to 01b allowing a maximum speed of 8160 rad/s.
  4. Convert the ripple speed on the SPEED register into rad/s by multiplying SPEED with W_SCALE. For example, if SPEED reads 0x04 and W_SCALE is set to 10b (corresponds to 64 rad/s), then ripple speed in rad/s = 4*64 = 256 rad/s. Let this value be called EST_SPEED.
  5. If EST_SPEED is lower than OBS_SPEED, increase KMC_SCALE by one bit.
  6. Repeat steps 4-5 until EST_SPEED is higher than OBS_SPEED.
  7. Set KMC_SCALE to the previous value. For example, if 11b was obtained in the previous step, set KMC_SCALE to 10b. This is the tuned value of KMC_SCALE.
