They also couldn't figure out what was wrong and sent me another USB connector. And although I can't connect to the controller, the controller does indeed control the motor just fine. I've done all of the usual troubleshooting:Īttempted connecting to two other computers (all computers resulted in similar errors)Īttempted connecting while the controller is powered on B+/B- terminalsĬuriousily enough, the error message ("this device has malfunctioned") displays every time that the USB is plugged in - even when the USB isn't plugged into the controller. The USB connection is labeled as an “Unknown Device” in the computer’s control panel. A screenshot portraying these symptoms is attached. Because of this, every time that I click “Connect” the GUI throws a timeout error. The VEC-700 USB is not recognized in any of the COM ports and is therefore unavailable for selection in the GUI.
Every time that I connect the controller to the computer via USB, an error message displays indicating that "this device has malfunctioned". I'm having a troubling problem connecting to my Golden Motors controller (VEC-700). If another PC won't recognise the USB lead either, it is probably the USB lead itself causing the problem, unless the Program lead for the VEC range of controller uses a different chip to the Magic Pie and Smart Pie vector controller programming cables. If that doesn't make any difference, try plugging the USB programming cable into another PC or laptop to see if it is still unrecognised. If you normally leave your computer in hibernate or sleep mode, try shutting it down completely and then restarting it to see if it helps. If it doesn't recognise the USB device on its own, the problem is either the USB device or the computer/Windows.

If the device is recognised correctly, try opening the programming software and selecting the COM port before connecting to the controller and clicking on the connect icon. If you are plugging in the USB plug while the other end is connected to the controller try disconnecting the lead from the controller first and see if it can recognise the USB device on its own.

Have you seen this malfunction before? Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I'd really appreciate your help! I tried disconnecting and reconnecting every connection from the USB port to the controller connector, but nothing has changed. The problem seems to be with the controller or the connection to the controller. I tried multiple USB ports without success and also confirmed the functionality of these ports with other USB devices. I successfully connected and downloaded to this same controller with the same computer yesterday.
#BLDC TOOL WINDOWS CANT SEE FAULT DRIVERS#
I uninstalled and re-installed the USB drivers without any luck. It's labeled "Unknown device" and is not associated with any drivers (nor can I seem to figure out HOW to assign it the correct driver.). In my control panel, it recognizes that the device is connected but doesn't know what it is. Every time that I plug in the USB, Windows displays an error message that "this device has malfunctioned". I'm trying to download the suggested parameters, but now I'm running into an entirely different problem. but is it possible that this might be incorrect as well?Īny help is greatly appreciated! Please let me know if you need any additional details. THE QUESTION: What am I doing wrong such that the rotor refuses to turn? Is this one of the several throttle issues that I've seen discussed in the forums? Is my battery current (15 A) insufficient? My "hall electrical angle" and "phase angle offset" parameters (120 and -120, respectively) are set to their default values. The parameters not mentioned above are set at the default parameters. Two screenshots of the default parameters are attached for reference.
#BLDC TOOL WINDOWS CANT SEE FAULT MANUAL#
"EBS enable", "Cruise Control Enable", "Cruise Control Manual Mode Enable", "Boost Enable" are all DISABLED Battery drawn current limit: 15 A (Default was 250 A) Rated motor speed: 3500 rpm (Default was 6000 rpm despite the motor being rated for 3500. PI-800.exe with default parameters EXCEPT. At first I thought that this might be a mismatch in advance angle parameters, but now I suspect that it may be related to minimum current requirements of the motor/controller and/or a throttle issue.
It's trying to turn, but can't make it more than 10deg or so. THE PROBLEM: Every time that I turn the throttle, the rotor cogs in place.
#BLDC TOOL WINDOWS CANT SEE FAULT PORTABLE#
I'm currently powering the motor with a portable power supply as to avoid blowing up any (muy expensive) large format batteries. THE CONTEXT: I'm setting up a GM BLDC motor and controller.
