The GUI software needs only a UART connection
between the host PC and the reference design board. Figure 3-3 shows the hardware connection for testing with the GUI. Setup the hardware using
the following steps:
- Connect GND, TX, RX, and 3.3V or 5V to VCC_ISO at J8 to the host PC through a USB-to-UART adapter.
- Connect motor wires to J10.
- Connect the multimeter, oscilloscope probes, and other measurement equipment to probe or analyze various signals and parameters
- Power on the board with a DC bus power, AC power supply or AC mains power to the board at J5.
- The maximum output of the DC power supply is
380VDC.
- The maximum output of the AC power supply is
265VAC, 50/60Hz.
- AC main power is 220VAC, 50/60Hz.
WARNING: The ground planes of both the power domains can be the same or different depending on the hardware configuration. Meet proper isolation requirements before connecting any test equipment with the board for personal safety and to prevent damaging equipment. Review the GND connections before powering the board. An isolator is required if measurement equipment is connected to the board.
