Combined with the above parameters and phenomena, we actually tried many sets of settings, but none had a significant effect. So we would like to know:
Hello, we are debugging the active brake function, using the MCF8316A chip. Using a brushless DC motor, 24V, the MPET test resistance is 0.78 ohms, the inductance is 0.215 mH, the back EMF constant is 18 mV/HZ, max_speed = 660 Hz, one pair of poles
Problems occurred during the test, and we ask for your help.
The first phenomenon:
Configuration: ACTIVE_BRAKE_CURRENT_LIMIT = 3.0A,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_BUS_CURRENT_SLEW_RATE = 250A/S,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_MOD_INDEX_LIMIT = 80%,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_SPEED_DELTA_LIMIT = 2.5%,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_KP = 6.5,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_KI = 1,
The speed decreases from 660 Hz to 230 Hz, enabling AVS and active brake, and the test waveform is as follows:
ACTIVE_BRAKE_BUS_CURRENT_SLEW_RATE = 250A/S,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_MOD_INDEX_LIMIT = 80%,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_SPEED_DELTA_LIMIT = 2.5%,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_KP = 6.5,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_KI = 1,
The speed decreases from 660 Hz to 230 Hz, enabling AVS and active brake, and the test waveform is as follows:

Channel 1 is the FG waveform, and it is set with only closed-loop output; Channel 2 is the phase current waveform(100mv/1.0A).
QUESTION:
Why can the phase current reach 10A, and is not completely limited by the ACTIVE_BRAKE_CURRENT_LIMIT? (Fault overcurrent)

The second phenomenon:
Configuration: ACTIVE_BRAKE_CURRENT_LIMIT = 2A,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_BUS_CURRENT_SLEW_RATE = 100A/S,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_MOD_INDEX_LIMIT = 70%,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_SPEED_DELTA_LIMIT = 2.5%,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_KP = 1,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_KI = 0.5,
The speed decreases from 660 Hz to 230 Hz, enabling AVS and active brake, and the test waveform is as follows:
Configuration: ACTIVE_BRAKE_CURRENT_LIMIT = 2A,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_BUS_CURRENT_SLEW_RATE = 100A/S,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_MOD_INDEX_LIMIT = 70%,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_SPEED_DELTA_LIMIT = 2.5%,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_KP = 1,
ACTIVE_BRAKE_KI = 0.5,
The speed decreases from 660 Hz to 230 Hz, enabling AVS and active brake, and the test waveform is as follows:

Channel 1 is the bus voltage 24V waveform; Channel 2 is the phase current waveform(100mv/1.0A).
QUESTION:
Even with AVS enabled, why would the bus voltage still overvoltage (resulting in an alarm due to exceeding 32V)?

we really want to know :
- What is the exact relationship between these parameters?
- How should these parameters be adjusted to normally use the active brake to achieve rapid speed reduction?
Looking forward to your reply.
