Telemetry Settings

The following settings are related to telemetry interfaces on the microDRIVE units.

DroneCAN Extended Telem Rate

Description

The rate at which (in Hz) to transmit the extended DroneCAN telemetry message. A rate of zero corresponds to no transmission.

CAN Name

CAN_TEL_EXT_RATE

Units

Units are in Hertz (Hz)

Advanced

YES

Motor Temperature Sensing

Description

Toggle the motor temperature sensor function. Enabling will introduce motor temperature measurement and limiting.

CAN Name

MOT_T_EN

Units

N/A

Advanced

YES

Motor Temperature Sensor Coefficient

Description

The motor temperature sensor coefficient. The temperature coefficient is accessible from the sensor datasheet.

CAN Name

MOT_T_COEFF

Units

N/A

Advanced

YES

Motor Temperature Sensor Nominal Resistance

Description

The motor temperature sensor nominal resistance coefficient. The coefficient is accessible from the sensor datasheet.

CAN Name

MOT_T_NOMR

Units

N/A

Advanced

YES

Motor Temperature Sensor Nominal Temperature

Description

The motor temperature sensor nominal resistance coefficient. The coefficient is accessible from the sensor datasheet.

CAN Name

MOT_T_NOMT

Units

N/A

Advanced

YES

Motor Temperature Sensor Type

Description

Selection of sensor type embedded into the motor, for use with motor temperature sensing.

CAN Name

MOT_T_TYPE

Units

N/A

Advanced

YES

Value Mappings:

  • 0 -> NTC
  • 1 -> PT100
  • 2 -> PT1000

PTC Offset Resistance

Description

Offset resistance calculated by the ESC when using PTC temperature sensors.

CAN Name

PTC_OFST_RES

Units

N/A

Advanced

YES

PTC Reference Temperature

Description

Reference temperature value to calibrate motor temperature measured by the PTC. This value should be the actual temperature of the PTC sensor. When this value is set to non-zero, the PTC temperature calibration runs and calculates the offset resistance, and this value is set back to zero.

CAN Name

PTC_REF_TEMP

Units

N/A

Advanced

YES

Telemetry Enabled

Description

Toggle the state of telemetry output from the drive. Applies to all protocol types.

CAN Name

TLM_EN

Units

N/A

Advanced

NO

Telemetry Refresh Rate

Description

Set the output rate of the telemetry protocol. High-speed rates may overrun communications buses.

CAN Name

TLM_FREQ

Units

Units are in Hertz (Hz)

Advanced

YES

Telemetry Type

Description

Set the telemetry output when using serial protocols.

CAN Name

TLM_TYPE

Units

N/A

Advanced

NO

Value Mappings:

  • 0 -> DShot/BiDirectional DShot
  • 1 -> UART
  • 2 -> RPM Output
