Toshiba streamlines MCU motor control with software update
Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has released MCU Motor Studio 4.0 (MMS), the latest update to its TXZ+™ advanced class microcontroller motor control software tool and firmware.
This release of the MCU Motor Studio now adds bare-metal configurations, covering all supported devices and allowing for usage with no real-time operating system. It extends the MCU coverage with the latest TMPM4KNF10x group.
New features implemented in this latest release include support for a change-down stage, allowing a smooth transition from vector control to sine-wave commutation (Force mode) and a PWM shift-2 enhancement for 1-shunt current sensing applicable to both vector engine (VE) based hardware control and software-implemented FOC. Additional features include direction change and reverse rotation with flux observer-based FOC as well as “STOP Brake” mode. MMS 4.0 also includes a free-run digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) for continuous real-time logging of up to four parameters, complementing the existing DSO one-shot real-time logging, which, in contrast, is performed over shorter time intervals with a pre-defined number of samples and sampling rate.
Compatible with Windows 11, MCU Motor Studio 4.0 is available for download from the Toshiba website. A planned future update will allow users to install Motor Tuning Studio (MTS), which is currently available to download as an accompanying tool, as a standalone library within MMS 4.0, thereby allowing users to conveniently access the features of both tools via a single graphical user interface (GUI).
In addition, MIKROE plans to release the Clicker 4 Inverter Shield 2, the latest addition to the Clicker 4 series of extension boards, which will be fully supported in this new MCU Motor Studio 4.0 version.
