Z16FMC™ Series Motor Control
Development Kit

Quick Start Guide

QS007901-1110

Introduction

This quick start guide describes how to set up Zilog’s ZNEO™ Z16FMC Series Motor
Control Development Kit and use it to evaluate your motor control designs and applica­tions.

The Z16FMC Series Motor Control Development Kit features a Motor Control Modular
Development System (MC MDS) daughter board mounted on a 3-Phase Motor Control
Application Board (see Figure 1). The MC MDS board consists of a 64LQFP Z16FMC
chip and a DBG connector to connect the kit to a host development PC via the USB Smart
Cable. The 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board provides spade lug connectors for
the 3-phase motor and fused spade lug connectors for an adjustable 24 V DC, 3 A work­bench power source.

This document guides you through the following elements:

• Power supply requirements to power the 3-phase motor supplied with the kit

• How to run the kit’s preloaded sample code in standalone mode

• How to connect the kit to your development PC

• Running the sample code in Zilog Developer System II (ZDS II) Debug mode

Kit Contents

All hardware (except an external adjustable power supply) and software/documentation
required to evaluate the Zilog
Series Motor Control Development Kit. For details on kit contents, refer to the Z16FMC
Series Motor Control Development Kit Packing List (PAK0025). The sample code used in

this development kit is based on the Zilog Application Note titled Sensorless BLDC Motor
Control Using the ZNEO Z16FMC MCU (AN0311). The latest sample code for this docu-

ment, AN0311-SC01, can be downloaded at www.zilog.com

External Power Supply Requirements

The 3-phase motor shipped with your development kit requires power from an adjustable
external power source. The external power source must provide 0 V DC to 24 V DC power
at 3 A. The adjustable power supply leads must be fitted with spade lugs that connects to
spade lugs (P4 and P5) on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board (see Figure 1).

Running in Standalone Mode

The Z16FMC Series Motor Control Development Kit is shipped with the sample code from
the Application Note titled

MCU (AN0311)

Observe the steps in this section to set up the kit and run the sample code in standalone mode.

Step 1. Connect the 3-Phase Motor to the Board

The 24 V DC 3-phase motor included with the kit features three spade connectors that plug
into spade lugs P1, P2, and P3 on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board. Connect

Step 2. Set Switches

For your initial setup, set the switches on the board as detailed below.

• Set Direction Switch S2 to the far right position

• Set Switch S3 to the far right/RUN position

• Set Speed Potentiometer R7 to its midpoint

Refer to the Z16FMC Motor Control Development Kit User Manual (UM0234) for

detailed jumper descriptions.

Step 3. Configure the 5 V DC Universal Power Supply

The universal power supply kit features different plug adapters in one box and the power
supply in another. The power supply ships with a slide-out plate that must be removed to
insert the location-specific plug adapter.

Observe the following steps to configure the 5 V DC universal power supply:

1. Remove the slide-out plate.

2. Select the AC plug adapter appropriate for your locale and insert it into the slot that re­mains after removing the slide-out plate.

3. Slide the new plug adapter into the slot until it snaps into place.

For convenience, you can leave the adapter slot cover in place and plug in a standard com­puter equipment AC power cord (purchased separately) between the AC cord receptacle
on the end of the power supply and an electrical outlet.

Step 4. Connect the 5 V DC Universal Power Supply

Connect the 5 V DC power supply to the MC MDS board at connector P2, then plug the
supply into an electrical outlet. The green 3.3 V DC LED D1 illuminates when power is
applied.

Step 5. Connect the Adjustable Power Supply

To avoid damage to the development kit, check the power supply con­nection polarities as you follow the instructions below.

1. Set your adjustable power supply to 0 V DC.

2. Connect the negative (
P5 on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board.

3. Connect the positive (+) lead of your adjustable power supply to spade lug connector
P4 on the 3-Phase Motor Control Application Board.

Step 6. Apply Power to the Motor

1. Slowly increase the adjustable power supply to 24 V DC. The 3-phase motor begins to
spin.
