Description

The PMD MC73110 Developer's Kit is an integrated board/software package that serves as an electrical and software design tool for its based systems. The major components of the kit are:

` Standalone MC73110-based card with 10 amp 3-phase brushless motor amplifier
` Serial cable to communicate with PC
` CD-ROM containing C-Motion and Pro-Motion software programs

The Developer's Kit is a self-standing card supported by aluminum standoff 4.093" x 6.800" in size. The PCB board is FR-4 four-layer with 2 oz. copper. The thickness of MC73110 is 62 mil. It accepts a single power connection of 18V to 48V, from which the card itself derives all other needed voltages using an on-board DC to DC converter device.

During initial setup and operation, a serial cable connects the card to a PC, which runs PMD's Pro-Motion exerciser program. The serial port can be operated in point-to-point mode, or multi-drop mode. The card can also be operated standalone, without serial port connection.In  MC73110 the card receives a command from an external motion controller via analog or digital hardware signals. When operated in standalone mode, MC73110 parameters are loaded into the MC73110 at power up via an on-board serial EEPROM which is installed in an 8-pin DIP socket located on the Developer's Kit card.

The card drives a 3-phase brushless DC motor at up to 10 amps continuous current, 15 amps peak. A wide range of motor inductances are supported. An on-card temperature sensor of MC73110 can be used to alert the user of an overtemperature condition on the amplifier.
