The product Kamilla is unboxing in this #DesignSparkUnboxing episode is the EVALKIT-ROBOT-1 reference design kit (201-4458) for brushless servo control that #STMicroelectronics has developed in collaboration with #Maxon.

00:00 EVALKIT-ROBOT-1
The kit has been designed as a compact, plug-and-play stand-alone solution for evaluating STSPIN32F0x motor driver IC and it includes both electronics and motor in the box.

The target application of EVALKIT-ROBOT-1 is industrial robotics automation, where reliable and high-precision position and speed control is of paramount importance.

01:13 Maxon motor
Firstly, there is Maxon EC-i 40 100W 3-phase brushless DC motor that comes with in-built 1024-pulse incremental encoder and hall sensor.

ST’s servo control board is based on STSPIN32F0A intelligent Motor Driver IC and STL7DN6LF3 power MOSFETs.

02:11 STSPIN32F0A
The uniqueness of this IC is that it integrates an advanced BLDC controller, a 32-bit Cortex M0 core MCU and analog peripherals, such as opamps, comparators and voltage regulators, into a single 7mm QFN package. Field Oriented Control (FOC) FW flashed inside STSPIN32F0A implementing closed-loop robust high precision control.

04:04 STL7DN6LF3
Power MOSFETs that used in the control board are STL7DN6LF3 Dual N-channel MOSFETs in PowerFLAT™ 5x6 Dual Island package. Typical drain-source on-resistance for this MOSFET is 35mOhmΩ.

04:21 RS485 / MODBUS
The servo control can be controlled via MODBUS communication protocol through an RS-485 connection. MODBUS is a widely used protocol in industrial automation. With EVALKIT-ROBOT-1, you just need one cable to connect the board to your PC and a MODBUS master application installed on your PC.
