Starter kit
The present software library was fully validated using the main hardware board (a complete
inverter and control board) included in ST7MC-KIT/BLDC starter kit, and the demonstration
AC motor from SELNI (Sales type ST7MC-MOT/IND). See Section A.2 on page 100 for
electrical specifications of this motor. The ST7MC-KIT/BLDC starter kit also includes a low-
cost inDART hardware emulator, making this tool an ideal set for starting a project and
evaluating/using the library. Finally, the graphical user interface included in the starter kit
(ST7MC Control Panel) is primarily intended to run motors from a PC for testing and demo
purposes, and is also able to generate library configuration files, with defines corresponding
to your own motor. This makes the first implementation of this library significantly easier.
See Section 4 of this document for details.
Therefore, for rapid implementation and evaluation of the software discussed in this
application note, it is recommended to acquire the ST7MC-KIT/BLDC starter kit and one of
the two compatible C-toolchain (or at least time limited evaluation versions).

Download
The complete source files are available for free on ST website (www.stmcu.com), in the
Technical Literature and Support Files section, as a zip file. This library is also copied by
default on the hard-disk when installing the ST7MC Control Panel from Softec micro
systems, or available on www.softecmicro.com, in the Downloads section, software part
(AK-ST7FMC System Software).
