o emDriveH300 motor controller
1.2 Support
Please contact our web page www.emdrive-mobility.com for technical support.
1.3 General emDrive information

• Advanced motor controllers for e-drive system supporting:
o BLDC (brushless 3 phase motor with trapezoidal BEMF shape)
o PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motor with surface mounted magnets)
o Field weakening operation
• CANOpen compatible (device profile CiA DSP 402)
• Multiple rotor position sensor supported
• emDrive can be used in listed applications but it is not limited to:
o Vehicle electrification
o High performances motorcycle
o Industrial applications
o Boat, jet-ski and sub-marine
o Gliders and ultra-light aircraft
Motor control features

• Vector current control minimizes torque ripple and vibration of the motor
• Vector current control with inexpensive hall sensors using observer to generate
sinusoidal motor currents
• Four quadrant operation
www.emsiso.com
2I P a g e
• Integrated velocity control

• Analog input to control motor torque or motor velocity
Position sensors
• Standard three hall sensors with 60° or 120° configuration
• Absolute digital SSI encoder with RS422 interface (for example RLS RM44SC)
• Analog 5V sin/cos (for example RLS RM44AC)
• Resolver with TR = 0,5 ±10%; for example Tamagawa seiki TS2620N1095E161
o For resolver with TR out of specifications please contact support
1.4 Protection functions

• Maximum motor current protection
• Low voltage battery protection with total battery voltage measurement – gradual
decrease of maximum current when total battery voltage indicates empty battery (BMS
still should be used to monitor individual cell separately)
• High voltage battery protection – protection from over-voltage situations when
regenerating with full or damaged battery (BMS still should be used to monitor
individual cell separately)
• Controller thermal protection – gradual decrease of maximum motor current
• Motor thermal protection (input for motor temperature sensor) – gradual decrease of
maximum motor current when motor temperature reaches set limit
• Motor over velocity protection (input for position sensor feedback) – gradual decrease
of maximum motor current when motor maximum velocity reaches limit
• Motor stall protection – limit motor current if motor rotor is blocked for a certain time
• Full self-test of power stage at start up
• High throttle pedal protection – disable operation if powered-up with non-zero throttle
Warning: If motor temperature sensor or position sensor feedback are not used or available then motor thermal
and motor velocity protection are not in function.
1.5 Set-up
• CANOpen connection for setting the parameters and data acquisition
• All settings are stored as parameters and can be changed – no “hard-wired” limits and
settings
• Parameter settings can be stored in file (.dcf)
• Easy set-up with emDrive configurator SW tool (emDrive USB to CAN interface card is
required)
• Internal FLASH memory for storing all selected data (battery voltage, motor current,
velocity, controller and motor temperature, …)

4.1 Important instructions

Strength and rigidity of mounting surfaces: mounting surface – aluminum base plate of emDrive
is intended for mounting of emDrive only. Do not mount other devices/equipment to the
mounting surface of emDrive. What have to be connected to emDrive is earthing conductor
only (see chapter Earthing of the system). Mounting surface flatness where emDrive will be
mounted has to be 0,2 mm or better.
Warning: Failure to comply with specified flatness can cause deformation to emDrive base plate which can lead
to permanent damage!

4.3 Mechanical installation instructions

emDrive mounting location has to be chosen with care taking in to account the following
considerations:
• do not mount emDrive where it may be susceptible to damage due to minor collisions
or impact from road debris
• emDrive has a high degree of ingress protection but anyway avoid mounting the
emDrive in locations where it may be subjected to long term exposure to water or jets
of water
• mount emDrive away from heat sources (e.g. internal combustion engine, exhaust, ...)
emDrive are not sensitive to mounting orientation. Controller can be mounted in any
orientation. Liquid cooling system in liquid cooled emDrive version has to be degassed.
4.4 Cooling
emDrive is equipped with temperature monitoring circuit to protect itself and motor from
overheating. If cooling is not sufficient emDrive/motor will overheat and reduced power will be
delivered from emDrive to motor.
Air cooling
emDrive 150 are versions with air cooling system. Mount emDrive 150 to sufficient large metal
sheet or install heat sink which is capable carrying enough heat. Heat losses are defined in
section 3.2.
Liquid cooling
emDrive with liquid cooling system have to use cooling liquid mixture as specified in sections
3.3 and/or 3.4. Before starting up the electric drive train with liquid cooling system has to be
degassed (no air pockets in the cooling loop).
Warning: Cooling system with air pockets can lead to overheating or thermal destruction of electric drive train
system components! Only degassed cooling system will operate properly!
Basic cooling circuit diagram is shown in figure below. Main cooling circuit components are:
water pump, emDrive, radiator and electric motor.
Left side of figure present’s simple circuit with only emDrive being liquid cooled. Direction of
cooling liquid is that emDrive hot liquid outlet is inlet to radiator. Between radiator through
pump toward emDrive only cooled liquid flows.

www.emsiso.com
13I P a g e
Fig. 4-4: emDrive cooling circuit diagram
Right side of figure presents circuit where emDrive and motor are liquid cooled. When using
more components in cooling circuits that generates heat (e.g. charger, motor controller, motor,
etc.) components sequence is very important. First component in the loop is radiator which
cools down cooling liquid. Next is pump. All other components are ordered so that first
component is the one which generates the least heat losses and last in sequence is the one that
generates the most heat losses. This is because least heat losses add least temperature rise and
vice versa.
Warning: In cooling circuit use only approved components that meet thermal and pressure requirements!
4.5 Sizing a conductor

We recommend using shielded silicone insulated, screened copper, single core high voltage
automotive cables like Coroplast (www.coroplast.de) or equivalent. Recommended wire cross
section for maximum phase current and maximum power are shown in table below.

5.1 Important instructions
Dangerous: Assembly and installation work must be taken only in non-energized conditions and by trained
personnel only!
Warning: None of emDrive has protection against reverse polarity on input DC link terminals! If installation
polarity is wrong the device will be destroyed!
Warning: Lay power cables and control cables spatially separated!
Warning: Use correct cable cross-section!
Warning: Tie all cables into fixed position to prevent the cable from moving and thereby damaging the insulation!
Use shielded cable for all connections to the motor and the battery. Keep cables as short as
possible and close together to minimize emitting and receiving surfaces – loops. Keep battery
positive and negative cables as close as possible to minimize impedance. Keep motor power
cables as close as possible to minimize their impedance.
Keep all signal wiring harness as short as possible and route wiring close to metal framework.
Keep all signal wiring away from power cables as far as possible. Use only shielded cables.
Where using shielded cables beware of generating ground loops in which currents may be
induced or which may cause noise currents to flow via unintended paths.
Warning: Make sure that cable is not applying any torque or force to the phase or DC link terminal!
Warning: Cables carrying high AC current are subjected to alternating forces. Tie cables into fixed position to
prevent long-term fatigue!
Warning: When selecting cable cross section, consideration must be given to cable length, grouping of cables,
the maximum allowable temperature rise and the temperature rating of the chosen cable!
5.2 Earthing of the system

Acceptable earthing of EDS (Electric Drivetrain System) is shown at figure below and is
summarized from IEC 60364-1:2005. EDS have to be earthed as shown on figure. All power
supply connections and all electrical installation connections have to provide basic insolation
from accessible conductive parts of the installation.
Dangerous: Do not operate emDrive motor controller without protective earthing conductor connected or without
equipotential bonding!

Dangerous: Protective class specified in section 3 specification is valid only if earthing is done correctly. If
earthing is not possible see section Insolation monitor device.
Fig. 5-2: emDrive earthing system diagram
Every EDS or EDS element (motor, controller, battery) requiring connection to earth by
protective bonding have a means of connection for the protective earthing conductor, located
near the terminals for the respective live conductors. Earthing conductor of EDS has to be of a
minimal cross section specified in the section Sizing a conductor in green/yellow or green color.
Dangerous: A protective earthing conductor shall be connected at all times when high voltage power is connected
to the system!

5.3 Insulation monitoring device

When emDrive is mounted to the vehicle (car, airplane, boat, etc.) where ground connection is
not possible installation must include insolation monitor device. Device has to meet voltage
ratings of emDrive specified in section 3. Device detects if vehicle chassis is energized. This
means that insolation of some component has failed. Device will turn off main DC power supply
to protect user from hazardous voltage and prevent electric shock. We recommend using
insolation monitor device from producer BENDER ordering code ISOMETER iso165C or
equivalent.
Dangerous: In vehicle application where ground connection is not possible use of insolation monitor device is a
must!

6 System integration guideline
Depending on application requirements, motor type, battery, position sensor feedback,

controller and auxiliary components are selected. Normally in first step suitable motor is chosen
and other components depending on selected motor. Motor manufacturers usually provide
guideline for selecting motor that best fits application requirements. Starting information for
choosing motor are desired rpm and torque. For other motor characteristics and limitations
that may be important for application and could influence selecting right motor check motor
manufacturer guideline or consult with motor manufacturer. emDrive controller can be also
used with dual winding motors. Dual winding motor can be used to split the power to two
controllers (if proper dual position feedback is used) or to have controller redundancy. In both
cases two emDrive controller work independently.
Based on selected motor and application requirements next step is selecting appropriate
battery. Basic battery parameters important for selecting battery are battery voltage, current
(continuous, peak) and capacity. Selection of position sensor feedback type depends on desired
sensor accuracy, reliability and price. Usually position sensors used for motor are Hall, SSI,
SIN/COS and resolver type. All mentioned position sensors are also supported by emDrive
controller. For best performance we suggest use of the SSI position sensor. In case of SIN/COS
or resolver is strongly recommended to use multipole type of sensor. Meaning motor pole pairs
are multiple of sensor pole pairs. The best accuracy is achieved when multiple equals one.
Once motor, battery and position sensor are determined emDrive controller type is chosen.
Basic selection criteria for selecting right controller are desired continuous and peak motor
current and battery voltage (Input DC link voltage) that are specified in section 3. Additional to
basic parameters check if controller logic voltage range suits and if other parameters or
features needed for application are supported by selected emDrive controller type.
NOTE: In case of dual windings motor only torque mode should be used. Operation possible only with tandem
resolver position sensor.

Fig. 6-3: emDriveH300 architecture block diagram

This emDrive’s heart is direct cooled IGBT module. IGBT is driven with IGBT driver, where all
IGBT’s power supplies, gate signals, temperatures and voltage measurements are generated.
Gate driver isolates high voltage to low logic supply and control signals with isolation specified
in the section 3. Control PCB is unit with protection for all I/O’s, power supply converters for
DSP and other sub units. DSP measure: DC link voltage, IGBT, capacitor and motor
temperatures, currents, motor position and runs all motor control algorithms (FOC) with
communication. This version of emDrive has integrated DC link capacitors with permanently
connected discharge resistor and EMC Y capacitors CY.

6.4 Equipment and Installation Check (commissioning)

The purpose of the equipment check is to verify that correct equipment was received with
proper specifications and parameters. The purpose of the installation check is that connections
and parameters setting where done correctly for safe device usage. Upon equipment reception
visual inspection should be performed. Received equipment must be in good physical condition
and all of the requested parts and accessories must be present in delivery. Check also device
label and production test report of the device before using and connecting equipment. Before
any installation work is done read carefully whole user manual (especially electrical and
mechanical installation chapters).
Dangerous: Installation, adjust and maintain the emDrive must be done only by trained personnel under non-
energized conditions!
Before starting up the electric drivetrain system with liquid cooling check if coolant mixture is
correct and system has been degassed. For air cooling system check if heat sink is capable
carrying enough heat and enough airflow is provided. More information about cooling
requirements are in cooling and technical specification chapter. Before connecting any external
power supply or battery to the electric drivetrain check if all electrical connections have been
done according to electrical installation, fuse rating and power installation chapters. Check also
that used cables are without isolation damage and correctly tightened. In case of system
earthing check if earthing is done correctly (more information in earthing of the system
chapter).

10 Pairing emDrive and motor (controller configuration steps)
Before using emDrive controller with motor it needs to be configured i.e. controller parameters
set to specific configuration and usage (motor type, temperature sensor type, position sensor
type, Auxiliary components, application type, …). Some configuration steps deepens on
emDrive controller interfacing option.
There are three ways of interfacing controller:

• Using emDrive USB/CAN interface card and emDrive Configurator
In this option USB/CAN interface card operate as external master device which is controlled
using emDrive Configurator tool running on PC (Windows platform only). Therefore, this
interfacing option is used for initial emDrive settings and/or electric motor test bench
applications.
The configuration tool main functionalities are: emDrive parameter configuration, real time
data acquisition in numerical and graphical form, integrated parameter info, saving and
restoring customized emDrive parameters, virtual oscilloscope for recording transient data,
emDrive firmware update.
• Using external master device with CANOpen connectivity

In this option external master device (ECU, VCU,…) is used to gather user command and
subsystem signals and set (using CANOpen) required torque or velocity based on algorithm
developed by the user. External master device interface option is recommended for embedded
electric drive systems with advanced application and/or traction algorithms running on master
device control unit. In this case combination of controller and motor represents controlled
torque source subsystem (slave mode).
• Using emDrive Application 1 (APP1)

Application named APP1 is used to control emDrive with digital and analog inputs. Basic
configuration is one switch for enabling the drive control and one potentiometer for setting the
current in torque mode or velocity in velocity mode. This interface option is used for simple (no
traction algorithm) embedded electric drive systems.

For configuring the emDrive in different interfacing options follow the steps in table below. The
individual setting guidance can be found within chapter 13.1.
In case of interfacing emDrive with external master device with CANOpen connectivity, the
parameters can be set using NMT controls and SDO services. However we advise that due to
the simplicity and visualization features the initial setting are done with emDrive configurator
(emDrive USB to CAN interface card required).

10.1 Motor type

Motor type is set under object 0x2034. The supported types are PMSM and IPM.
10.2 Controller/motor protections

For proper working of electric drivetrain, emDrive controller protection functions must be
configured according to motor and traction battery specifications. The protections are listed in
below table.
Table 10-2: Controller/motor protection setting parameter objects
Object Object name Unit Note
0x2054 Overvoltage limit V For value see traction battery specifications.
0x2055 0x01 Undervoltage limit V For value see traction battery specifications.
0x2055 0x03 Undervoltage min voltage V For value see traction battery specifications.
0x2050 Maximum controller current mARMS For value see motor and emDrive specifications.
0x2051 Secondary current protection mARMS For value see motor and emDrive specifications.
0x2057 0x02 Motor maximum temperature °C For value see motor specifications.
0x2052 0x01 Maximum velocity User defined unit For value see motor specifications.
Voltage protection (traction battery protection)

Overvoltage protection protects controller power stage from too high input voltage (DC link
voltage). At the same time the traction battery is protected from over-charging during
regeneration.
Overvoltage limit in V units is set at object 0x2054. If measured DC link voltage (0x6079) is
above overvoltage parameter setting, the power stage is disabled and error flag (0x3210) is set
in error code object 0x603F. The red LED is turned on indicating error state.
Undervoltage protection protects the traction battery from over-discharging. Protection is

implemented in two levels.
Undervoltage limit in V units is set at object 0x2055 0x01. If measured DC link voltage (0x6079)
is below undervoltage limit parameter setting, the output current is reduced with gain defined
at 0x2055 0x02. The warning flag (0x04) is set in warnings object 0x2027. The yellow LED is
turned on indicating warning state.
Undervoltage min voltage in V units is set at object 0x2055 0x03. If measured DC link voltage
(0x6079) is below undervoltage min voltage parameter setting, the power stage is disabled and
error flag (0xFF0C) is set in error code object 0x603F. The red LED is turned on indicating error
state
NOTE: Traction battery protections are based on total battery voltage measurement. BMS still should be used to
monitor and protect individual cell.

54I P a g e
Controller and motor current protections and settings

Maximum controller current protects motor from overcurrent because of unintended user
demand for higher current setting as motor declared maximum current.
Maximum controller current in mARMS units is set at object 0x2050. If requested current is
above the maximum controller current parameter setting, the requested current is limited to
maximum controller current.
If motor has also temperature sensor Maximum controller current parameter is set to
maximum motor specified current. If temperature sensor is not available or used by emDrive
then Maximum controller current parameter is set to nominal current motor specification.
Secondary current protection protects motor and controller power stage from overcurrent; the
protection is measured based.
Secondary current protection current in mARMS units is set at object 0x2051. If measured
current is above the secondary current protection parameter setting, the power stage is
disabled and error flag (0x2220) is set in error code object 0x603F. The red LED is turned on
indicating error state.
Secondary current protection is usually set to 10 % higher value than Maximum controller
current.
Motor rated current is parameter used for setting request motor torque current (iq) in regard
to torque command input Target Torque (0x6071) in torque mode operation.
Motor rated current in mARMS units is set at object 0x6075. The requested current in torque
mode is defined with following equation:
𝑇𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑞𝑢𝑒
𝑖𝑞𝑟𝑒𝑞 = 𝑀𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡
1000
Motor rated torque parameter at object 0x6076 is defined by device profile CiA DSP 402. For
emDrive devices this parameter is set to the same value as motor rated current.
Controller and motor temperature protections and settings

Controller have two temperature protections; DC link capacitors temperature protection and
power stage temperature protection. All Controller temperatures measurements can be found
under object 0x2026 and its sub-indexes. The limits where controller starts to reduce output
current and the limits where controller disable power stage are hardcoded (cannot be set by
the user) and can be FW depended.
In case of reduced output current due to the controller temperature the warning flag (0x01) is
set in warnings object 0x2027. The yellow LED is turned on indicating warning state.
In case of disabled power stage due to the controller temperature the error flag (0xFF10) is set
in error code object 0x603F. The red LED is turned on indicating error state.
Controller can protect motor from overheating if motor temperature sensor is connected. The
protection is set under Motor temperature config object 0x2057 and its sub-indexes. By default
controller support NTC10k, KTY84-130 and KTY81-210 sensor type (0x2057 0x01). The

www.emsiso.com
55I P a g e
Resistance/Temperature characteristics for individual temperature sensor are given in Table

10-3. Under object 0x2057 0x02 maximum motor temperature is set. If measured motor
temperature (0x2025) is above maximum motor temperature parameter setting, the output
current is reduced with gain defined at 0x2057 0x03. The warning flag (0x02) is set in warnings
object 0x2027. The yellow LED is turned on indicating warning state.
NOTE: If motor temperature sensor is not used or it is disabled within parameter setting, then motor thermal
protection is not in function.

Auto align procedure (positon sensor offset calibration)

For proper FOC (Field Oriented Control) operation the offset between motor electrical angle
and absolute position sensor angle needs to be known. The offset is measured automatically
with so-called auto align procedure. The procedure is done only once, except if sensor
mechanical position is changed or motor phases are swapped to change motor direction. In
those cases, the procedure must be repeated. To enable the procedure set Modes of operation
object 0x6060 to -4 (auto align motor position).
NOTE: It is assumed that everything is correctly connected and working. It is also assumed that emDrive
Configurator is running, CAN communication between controller and PC is working and EDS information is already
loaded into SDO browser.
NOTE: Auto align procedure should be done at no – loaded motor (motor can spin freely).
NOTE: Auto align procedure should be done at PMSM motor type; 0x2034 = 0.
NOTE: If unsure about other emDrive parameters it is advised to clear/reset all parameters before starting.
Select menu Device -> Set parameters to default (Ctrl + D). If emDrive was already configured and only Auto
align procedure needs to be repeated then skip clear/reset step.
DANGEROUS: In case of wrong parameter settings software protection functions may not work. This may lead
to damage of EDS elements (motor, emDrive, battery, fuse, …)..

www.emsiso.com
59I P a g e
Steps for auto-align procedure from emDrive Configurator:

Set values directly in SDO browser or add them to watch window and set values.
Step 1: Set controller/motor protections

For motor rated current (0x6075) and motor rated torque (0x6076) parameters use value 20%
to 40% of motor rated current specified by motor producer.
Step 2: Set motor position sensor

Set position sensor parameters according to Table 10-5.
Step 3: Enable auto align procedure

In SDO Browser search for object 0x6060 – Mode of operation and set object value to -4.
Step 4: Save parameters

Select menu Device -> Save parameters (Ctrl + S). In case of turning emDrive controller OFF
saving parameters will prevent losing settings.
Step 5: Reset controller

Status panel -> NMT section -> Reset button
Step 6: Put controller into operational state

Status panel -> NMT section -> Operational button.
After Operational command the motor should start spinning firstly in positive direction then in
reverse direction and then stop. The positive direction is the direction in which motor will rotate
in case of positive applied torque. If positive direction is not appropriate with application needs,
than two motor phase connections needs to be swapped and auto align procedure repeated.
Step 7: Check controller status (errors, warnings)

Warnings: In SDO Browser search for object 0x2027 - Warnings and read object value.
Errors: In SDO Browser search for object 0x603f – Error code and read object value.
If there is no error than the auto align was successful and mode of operation (0x6060) is set
automatically to value 10 (torque mode). The measured offset is stored under parameter
Motor phase offset at 0x2040 0x02.
In case of any error in auto align procedure the error code is set to 0xFF0B (motor feedback);
for solving error refer to chapter warnings and errors. Repeat the auto align procedure unit
successfully finished.
For solving warning issue refer to chapter warnings and errors.
Step 8: Save parameters

Select menu Device -> Save parameters (Ctrl + S). This will store Motor phase offset parameter.

Verifying the electrical angle measurement

For all position sensor types
The measured electrical angle is stored under object Electrical angle at 0x201F. To verify the
electrical angle measurement record the Electrical angle in emDrive Configurator Oscilloscope
while no-loaded motor is operating in torque mode. At constant motor velocity the electrical
angle signal should be saw-tooth wave like. The electrical angle unit is quant; where [-π, π] is
scaled to [-32768, 32767].
Steps for verifying electrical angle measurement:

Step 1: Creating shortcuts for Controlword
Select SDO Browser and search for object 0x6040 - Controlword (right mouse click on object
and select Add to shortcut). Make two shortcuts for the same object. After both shortcut have
been added, set shortcut Value and Shortcut text (on created shortcut use right mouse click
and select Edit).
Shortcut 1: object 0x6040 - Controlword (Set Value to 6 and Shortcut text to CW 6)
The command sequence CW = 6 and CW = 15 enables PWM i.e. power stage. To disable PWM
CW = 6.
Step 2: Creating slider for Target torque

Select SDO Browser and search for object 0x6071 – Target torque (right mouse click on object
and select Add to slider control). Set slider Min value to 0 and Max value to 200. Put slider to
Min positon.
Step 3: Add Electrical angle to oscilloscope

Tuning current control parameters

During tuning current control parameters procedure gains for id and iq current controllers are
set. Current controller is PI controller in parallel form as shown in figure below. The current
error signal (difference between requested and actual current) is fed to PI controller. The
control signal (controller output voltage) is equal to the proportional gain P times the error plus
the integral gain I times the integral of the error with respect to time. The control signal –
controller output voltage is applied to the motor and the new actual current is measured. The
new actual current is then fed back and compared to the requested current to find the new
error signal. Based on this new error signal controller computes an update of control signal.
This process continues while the controller is in effect.
Main goal of tuning current control is to determine P gain and I gain where current control
response is suitable. Tuning procedure must be done in torque mode (Modes of operation
0x6060 = 10) at nominal DC link voltage. If possible, the tuning procedure should be done at
block rotor.
At tuning procedure, the reference for flux current is set to 0 (use PMSM motor type).
Reference for torque current is square wave with amplitude defined by Target torque (0x6071)
and period defined by Pulse mode counter (0x2032 0x01). The amplitude is set around 30 % of
motor rated current. Normally the Pulse mode counter is set to 500, which corresponds to
period of 1000/(128^2) = 61 ms.

10.5 Position feedback compensations
Motor phase offset compensation

The compensation is set manually in torque mode with disabled field weakening operation. In
addition the controller must be set to manual applying of flux current id (id can be manual set
by the user).
For disabling field weakening operation and enable manual request of flux current id following
parameter must be set:
• 0x2034 Motor type: 2 (IPM motor)
• 0x201D 0x0C Field Weakening Regulator P Gain: 0 (for disabling field weakening)
• 0x201D 0x0D Field Weakening Regulator P Gain: 0 (for disabling field weakening)
• 0x201D 0x14 Field Weakening Regulator Flux Gain Antiwindup Int: 0 (for disabling field
weakening)
• 0x201D 0x18 MTPA Polynom a2: 0
• 0x201D 0x19 MTPA Polynom a1: 0
• 0x201D 0x1A MTPA Polynom a0: use this object for setting flux current id. The unit is
desired current in ARMS multiplied by 10 000. For instance; to apply id = -10 ARMS the
value is set to -10 000.
The procedure depend on permanent magnet synchronous machine type.
Surface mount magnet type:

During the procedure the motor is spinning in range 80 to 90% of base velocity because of
applied torque current iq. At velocity steady state the flux current id is added. If Motor phase
offset parameter in not correct adding flux current id will add torque which result in velocity
change. The Motor phase offset compensation parameter 0x2040 0x08 is adjust in such a way
that applied id current produce no torque i.e. no velocity change.
Use three sliders to set torque current iq (0x6071 Target Torque), flux current id (0x201D 0x1A
MTPA Polynom a0) and motor phase offset compensation value (0x2040 0x08).

Compensation set to 0: Compensation set to 150:

Applying flux current effect velocity; Applying flux current does not effect velocity;
therefore torque is produced. therefore torque is not produced
Fig. 10-17: Setting Motor phase offset compensation
In case that the motor is installed in test-bench setup with torque measurement equipment
the alternative procedure is to set id current to zero. At velocity 80 to 90% of base velocity the
nominal torque current iq is applied and Motor phase offset compensation parameter is set to
the value where maximal torque is produced.

Interior mount magnet type:

In case of unloaded motor the torque current iq is set to zero and id current is set to 50 % of
nominal current. Applying only flux current id should not produce any torque, therefore the
motor should not start to spin. If torque is produced then adjust Motor phase offset
compensation parameter 0x2040 0x08.
In case that the motor is installed in test-bench setup with torque measurement equipment
the alternative procedure is to spin the motor at velocity 80 to 90% of base velocity with load
machine. Then flux current id is set to 50 % of nominal current while torque current is set to
zero; no torque should be produced. If torque is produced then adjust Motor phase offset
compensation parameter 0x2040 0x08.

FOC calculation delay

Motor FOC calculation delay parameter is set manually. Motor is spinning in range 0 - 90 % of
nominal velocity because of externally applied torque (motor is installed in test-bench setup).

parameter 0x2040 0x10 is adjust to the value where output of flux current regulator (0x201C
0x03 Flux regulator out) is near zero regardless of velocity value.
If motor is not installed in test-bench setup, the torque current iq is apply so that motor is
spinning at 90 % of nominal velocity. The FOC calculation delay is adjust to the value where
output of flux current regulator is slightly above zero regardless of velocity value.

Tuning velocity control parameters

Velocity controller is PI controller in parallel form as shown in figure below. The velocity error
signal (difference between requested and actual velocity) is fed to PI controller. The control
signal is equal to the proportional gain P times the error plus the integral gain I times the
integral of the error with respect to time. The control signal – reference torque is applied to
inner torque control loop and new velocity is measured. The new actual velocity is then fed
back and compared to the requested velocity to find the new error signal. Based on this new
error signal controller computes an update of control signal. The sample frequency of the
control loop is 128 Hz.
During tuning velocity control parameters procedure P and I gain are set to fulfil the velocity
response specifications. Because of many mechanical influences and load changes it is difficult
to predict or model the complete system. For this reason, it is essentially to manually set
velocity control parameter with experimentation. In velocity mode the Integral part is most
important. The Proportional part will help to improve response time, stability and stiffness of
the system. There are different techniques for setting P and I gains. One of possibilities is to
begin the tuning sequence with setting P gain at I gain =0. Set P to a value where actual velocity
in slightly below reference value and system is not oscillating (observe velocity controller
output). Then add I gain and observe response to load variation and change of velocity
reference. There should be no oscillations, acceptability of overshoot depend on application.
Use Watch and Live Chart windows to observe velocity control related object. For setting
velocity reference set Target Velocity object using numerical or slider input.

The IPM MTPA is realized with 2nd order polynomic function defined as:
𝑖𝑑 = 𝑓 𝑖𝑞 = 𝑎2 𝑖𝑞2 + 𝑎1 |𝑖𝑞 | + 𝑎0
where a2, a1 are polynomic function coefficient. Constant a0 is used for setting flux current
manually. The MTPA data is provided by motor producer.
Example:
From given MTPA current pairs (id and iq) table data provided by motor producer, the curve id
vs. iq is plotted (solid line); Fig. 10-25. The curve can be approximated using 2nd order polynomic
function (dotted line) with coefficients being a2 = - 0.0022, a1= 0.0023 and a0=0.
Because the coefficients are internally divided by 10000 the IPM MTPA settings are:
• 0x201D 0x18 = -22
• 0x201D 0x19 = 23
• 0x201D 0x1A = 0

In order to operate in field weakening region the controller output voltage control is used; Fig.
10-24. The output voltage reference i.e. field weakening points is given % (0x201D 0x0B), where
100 % correspond to 0.95 of the controller output voltage. The output voltage (which is output
of FOC current regulators for id and iq i.e. ud, uq) is regulated by outer control loop using PI
controller. The anti-windup feedback gain is added to prevent integration wind-up when the PI
controller output (field weakening part of flux current id) is saturated. The field weakening part
of flux current is added to MTPA flux current. The total flux current is limited to 95 % of maximal
controller current defined at 0x2050. This limitation is hardcoded, therefore cannot be change
by the user. The torque current limitation deepened on total flux current and maximal
controller current. To disable field weakening operation set P, I and anti-windup gain to zero.
Setting field weakening controller gains (P, I, and anti-windup) are set manually with
experiment. For a start the field weakening can be set at 50 % of nominal velocity. The
controller is operating in velocity mode (because velocity effect the output voltage most), with
max reference velocity being set to 50 % of nominal velocity. Velocity ramp parameter (0x60F9
0x03) can be used to insure linear velocity increase. The reference for output voltage control
(Field Weakening point) is step changed for i.e. 45 % to 55 % and back. The output voltage
control response is evaluated. The guidance for evaluating the response are: overshoot should
be minimal, settling time must be shorter than mechanical dynamics, steady-state error is zero,
no oscillations. Firstly I gain and anti-windup gain are set, at P gain being set to zero. In the
example below I gain is changing at anti-windup gain set to 100; Fig. 10-27. The adequate
response is found at I gain being 2000.

Then anti-windup gain is increased. At zero velocity (output voltage near zero and below
reference value) field weakening current should be zero. This is true at anti-windup gain being
200; at higher gain values the field weakening “spikes” start to appear; Fig. 10-28.
Fig. 10-28: Field weakening operation; setting anti-windup gain at I gain = 2000, P gain = 0
The most important gains in output voltage control are I gain and anti-windup gain. The
Proportional part is used for improving response time. However the output voltage control is
sensitive to P gain because of “noisy” outputs of flux and torque current control. Therefore P
gain is set to the value where there is no oscillations in field weakening current; Fig. 10-29.

11 Control of emDrive over software (CANopen protocol)
The following information provide basic introduction to the CANopen terminology. It is

assumed that the reader understands CAN and is familiar with its use.
If the reader is new to CAN or CANopen please refer to the CiA (CAN in Automation)
www.can-cia.org for further information.
11.1 emDrive CAN Introduction

CAN Communication interface of the emDrive motor controllers follows the CiA CANopen
which is a higher layer protocol defined in the DS301 ‘Application Layer and Communication
Profile’ specification. CANopen also supports standardized profiles, which extend the
functionality of a device. The controller supports CANopen standardized profile: DSP402 (V2.X)
– Device Profile for Drives and Motion Control.

11.2 Physical structure of a CANopen network

The underlying CAN architecture defines the basic physical structure of the CANopen network.
Therefore, a line (bus) topology is used. To avoid reflections of the signals, both ends of the
network must be terminated. Maximum permissible branch line lengths for connection of the
individual network nodes are to be observed.
The recommended permissible bit rates for a CANopen network are given in CiA 301: 10 kbps,
20 kbps, 50 kbps, 125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps, 800 kbps and 1000 kbps. In CiA 301 a
recommendation for the configuration of the bit timing is also given.
Additionally, for CANopen, two additional conditions must be fulfilled:
- All nodes must be configured to the same bit rate and
- No node-ID may exist twice.
There are no mechanisms automatically ensuring these conditions. The system integrator
needs to check the bit rate and node-ID of every single network node when wiring a network
and adjust if necessary. To set the node-ID on the controller setting these parameters is done
via reserved CAN identifier by software with the aid of the so-called "LSS-service" (layer setting
service) as described in CiA 305.

11.3 Object Dictionary, Electronic Data Sheet and Device Configuration File
One of the most important properties of CANopen is a standardized device description called object
dictionary (OD). It is a table which has the same structure for all types of devices. Thus, it is possible to
access all important data, parameters and functions of a device using a logical addressing system (index,
subindex) via the CAN bus. There are two important text files associated with the Object Dictionary.
These are:
Electronic Datasheet (EDS)
An EDS is a text file representation of the Object Dictionary structure only. It contains no data values.
The EDS is used by configuration software such as »EMSISO eDrive Configurator« to describe the
structure of a node’s Object Dictionary. An EDS for each emDrive controller model and software version,
is available on the device itself and can be also provided by EMSISO company. The EDS file format is
described in the DSP306 – Electronic Data Sheet Specification.
NOTE: Each Object Dictionary matches a particular device and software version. Also, its structure is hardcoded
into the device software.

www.emsiso.com
89I P a g e
Device Configuration File (DCF)

This is a text file like an EDS except that it contains data values as well as the Object Dictionary
structure. DCFs are used to:
- Download a complete pre-defined configuration to a node’s Object Dictionary. Download
parameters from PC to controller.
- Save the current configuration of a node’s Object Dictionary for future use. Save parameters
from controller to PC.
11.4 Communication and protocol

The data link layer of CANopen, can only transmit short packages consisting of an 11-bit ID, a
remote transmission request (RTR) bit and 0 to 8 bytes of data. The CANopen standard divides
the 11-bit CAN frame ID into a 4-bit function code and 7-bit CANopen node ID. This limits the
number of devices in a CANopen network to 127 (0 being reserved for broadcast).
In CANopen the 11-bit ID of a CAN-frame is known as communication object identifier, or COB-
ID.
Contents of an 11-bit identified CANopen data frame (also called “base frame format”):
CAN-ID RTR Data length Data
Length 11 bits 1 bit 4 bits 0 – 8 bytes
The default CAN-ID mapping sorts frames by attributing a function code (NMT, SYNC, EMCY,
PDO, SDO...) to the first 4 bits, so that critical functions are given priority.
CAN-ID
Function Code Node ID
Length 4 bits 7 bits
Different types of communication models are used in the messaging between CANopen nodes:
Master/slave: one CANopen node is designated as the master, which sends/requests data
to/from the slaves. The NMT protocol is an example of a master/slave communication model.
Slave is emDrive motor controller.
Client/server: in this relationship the SDO protocol is implemented, where the SDO client sends
data (the object dictionary index and subindex) to an SDO server, which replies with one or
more SDO packages containing the requested data (the contents of the object dictionary at the
given index). SDO server is emDrive motor controller.
Producer/consumer: this model is used in the Heartbeat, Node Guarding and PDO protocols. In
the push-model of producer/consumer, the producer sends data to the consumer without a
specific request, whereas in the pull model, the consumer must request the data from the
producer. Normally, emDrive is in consumer mode.

11.5 Network management (NMT)

Power-On
Reset
Initialization
Pre-operational
Stopped
Operational
Fig. 11-3: State diagram
Upon power-up eDrive (CANopen slave node) comes out of »power-on reset« and goes into
initialization. It initializes the entire application, CAN/CANopen interfaces and communication.
At the end of the initialization the node tries to transmit boot-up message. As soon as it is
transmitted successfully, the node switches to Pre-operational state.
The NMT Protocol is used by the master node (NMT Master message) to individual nodes or all
nodes back and forth between the three major states: Pre-operation, Operational and Stopped.
The NMT protocols are used to issue state machine change commands (e.g. to start and stop
the devices), detect remote device bootups and error conditions.
The Module control protocol is used by the NMT master to change the state of the devices. The
CAN-frame COB-ID of this protocol is always 0, meaning that it has a function code 0 and node
ID is 0, which means that every node in the network will process this message. The actual node
ID, to which the command is meant to, is given in the data part of the message (at the second
byte). This can also be 0, meaning that all the devices on the bus should go to the indicated
state.
The message format is:
COB-ID (11 bits) RTR Data length Data Byte 0 Data Byte (1)
0x000 0 2 NMT Command (Request state) Addressed node

11.6 Data transfer – Service Data Object (SDO)

The Service Data Object (SDO) is based on a client server communication model and provide
access by direct addressing of and object using its index (2 bytes) and subindex (1 byte). It is
used for configuration of a device as the SDO is allowed in pre-operational mode. Using SDO is
also possible to get “process” data values by polling the appropriate object dictionary entry.
SDO Server
SDO Client Object Dictionary
CAN
Fig. 11-4: SDO; client server communication model
SDO protocol always confirms the read/write operation. If the data to be read/written is 4 bytes
or less than expedited packet can be used (one transmit and one confirm receive is necessary).
SDO uses the following COB-IDs

COB-ID (11 bits) NMT Function
0x600 + node ID SDO Receive
0x580 + node ID SDO Transmit
TX/RX direction are from the point of view of the device. So, to query a device on the network
you would send a 0x600+nodeID and get back a 0x580+nodeID.
The SDO packet is defined as:
CAN Header DATA
COB-ID RTR Data Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7
length
Function + 0 8 Command OD Index OD Sub - Data
node ID Index
The CAN header consists of the COB-ID (11 bits), the RTR bit, and data length definition (4 bits).
This makes the header 2 bytes, so the total packet is 10 bytes.
The SDO packet always contains 8 bytes of data (even if they are not all used). Command
specifies the nature of the transfer read/write etc. The Index of the object dictionary being
queried is the next 2 bytes (Little Endian format), followed by 1 byte specifying the sub-index.
The remaining 4 bytes contain the data of the transfer (or zero if they are not required).

11.7 Data transfer – Process Data Object (PDO)

Process Data Objects is a protocol for process data exchange from one node to another. The
PDO protocol is available only in Operational state. Data can be exchange on different events:
on data change, preset periodical interval or SYNC mechanism. The PDO messages have no
fixed format, therefore the contend of a PDO can also not be readily interpreted. Both the
transmitter and the receiver know how the content of a PDO is to be interpreted. The so-called
"PDO mapping" describes which individual process variables in the data field of a PDO are
transmitted, how they are arranged and which data type and length they have. The content
and meaning of the data field of each defined PDO is described in the form of a PDO-mapping
record inside the object dictionary both on the transmit and on the receive side.
There are 4 transmit TX PDO and 4 receive RX PDO messages available, each with data length
up to 8 bytes. PDOs are configured in pairs with a matching TX PDO and RX PDO.
The PDO producer composes the data field of a PDO in accordance with its TX PDO mapping.
For this it takes the current data of the variables to be transmitted from its object dictionary
and copies these into the data field of the PDO before the CAN message (PDO) is sent.
The same happens on the consumer side: based on the RX PDO mapping record, the data bytes
of the received PDOs are copied into local object dictionary entries and thus generally device-
specific actions are triggered.
The TX PDO contains only data:

length
0x180 + 0 1-8 Length bytes of data
node ID
The TX PDO is set by two Object Dictionary entries 0x1Axx and 0x18xx. The RX PDO is set by two
Object Dictionary entries 0x16xx and 0x14xx. The formats of the 0x1Axx and 0x16xx entries are
identical and they need to be a matched pair between the transmitting and receiving nodes.
The controller transmit messages are:

COB-ID Message
0x180 + Node ID TX PDO 1
The controller receive messages are:

COB-ID Message
0x200 + Node ID RX PDO 1

www.emsiso.com
97I P a g e
PDO mapping
The PDO mapping configuration registers 0x1Axx (for TX PDO) and 0x16xx (for RX PDO) specify
which object dictionary entries will be exchanged with the PDO message. Mapping is possible
only for those object dictionary entries whose mapping is enabled with EDS.
Up to 8 configuration bytes are available, but the total amount of data they specify must be 8
bytes or less.
The format of the 0x1Axx and 0x16xx entries is defined as:

Number of Entry 1 Entry 2 Entry 3 Entry 4 Entry 5 Entry 6 Entry 7 Entry 8
elements (0-8)

Each entry (4 bytes long)
Index Sub Data size in bits
2 bytes 1 byte 1 byte
An example for reading controller DC link voltage, controller temperature and DC capacitor
temperature. The OB entities with data types are:
• DC link voltage 0x6079 0x00, int16 (2 bytes data)
• Controller temperature 0x2026 0x01, unsigned 8 (1 byte data)
• Capacitor temperature 0x2026 0x02, unsigned 8 (1 byte data)
The length of all data is 4 bytes therefore using one Transmit PDO is sufficient. The content of
0x1A00 is:
• 0x1A00 0x00: 3 (because 3 process data are mapped)
• 0x1A00 0x01: 0x60790010 (mapping 0x6079 0x00, data length 16 bits 16dec = 10hex)
The object dictionary entries 0x18xx (TX) and 0x14xx (RX) specify the COB-ID of TX and RX
nodes, and different parameters on TX side defining when the PDO messages are transmitted
(COB-ID, Transmission type, Inhibit Time (ms), Compatibility Entry, Event Timer (ms), SYNC start
value).
Transmission type can be:

Type (value) Description
0 Acyclic synchronous
1-240 Cyclic synchronous
241 -251 Reserved
252 Synchronous RTR only
253 Asynchronous RTR only
254-255 Asynchronous
At asynchronous transmission type 254 and 255 the PDO message is transmitted when mapped
data changes. With Inhibit time maximal update rate is set. The Event timer is used to make
asynchronous PDO transmit at given rate when timer expire, thus Event timer set minimum
update rate.

www.emsiso.com
98I P a g e
Cyclic Synchronous PDOs are transmitted with the SYNC message (periodical transmit). In fact,
the SYNC message causes all nodes with Synchronous PDOs configured to sample their inputs
and store the data, the actual data is transmitted on the next SYNC message.
With Acyclic Synchronous transmission type the PDOs are transmitted only when a Remote
request from another device ‘pre-triggers’ the PDO or a device (profile) specific event ‘pre-
triggers’ the PDO.
Procedure for mapping (example for TX PDO):

1. Disable PDO communication for TX and PDO
Set COB-ID to value 0x80000000 (example 0x1800 0x01 = 0x80000000)
2. Disable PDO mapping for TX PDO
Set number of entries to value 0 (example 0x1A00 0x00 = 0)
3. Mapp objects in using mapping object dictionary entries
4. Set transmission type (example 0x1800 0x02 = 1, SYNC type (TX PDO will be sent on every
SYNC))
5. Set COB-ID and enable PDO
COB-ID bit meaning
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
PDO number 1 Node ID
6. Save parameter
7. Reset device
8. Set device in operational mode and device is ready to send TPDO according to transmission
type settings
For setting the RX PDO the same procedure must be followed.

The APP1 is part of the software used for constructing simple powertrain, the simplified scheme
is shown in Fig. 12-2. The most basic configuration is one potentiometer (throttle voltage) to
set either requested torque (torque mode) or requested velocity (velocity mode) and two
switches to select desired direction. In addition, software support also braking options,
however braking functionalities are in phase of updating therefore they are not in scope of
following description. Once the APP1 is configured the drive operate without external CAN
communication.
The output of APP1 is always requested torque for lower level software where FOC Torque
Control is running. Therefore, the object Modes of operation must always be set to torque
control (0x6060 = 10). The data between software layers (APP1 layer and FOC Torque control
layer) are exchanged using PDO messages, therefore PDO messages in APP1 cannot be
modified.
For APP1 operating in torque mode object APP1 Control Mode 0x3001 0x01 is set to value 1. In
this case the Throttle voltage is directly scaled to Target torque command.
For APP1 operating in velocity mode object APP1 Control Mode 0x3001 0x01 is set to value 2.
In this case the Throttle voltage is scaled to velocity request command for APP1 velocity control
implemented with PI control. The parameters for APP1 PI velocity controller are set under the
object 0x3004. The output of velocity controller is Target torque command.
In following subchapters settings for torque and velocity mode at different throttle input types
are described. Before setting APP1 steps 1,2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 (optional) given in Table 10-1 must
be done.

will accept only PWM input (using potentiometer throttle is not possible). The PWM input
specifications are given in Table 12-3.
Measured PWM width can be read by reading APP 1 PWM Pulse Width Throttle voltage object
