1 Safety precautions
In addition to the precautions listed throughout this manual, please read and understand the following
statements regarding hazards associated with development systems.
Table 1 Precautions
Attention: The ground potential of the EVAL-M1-IM231-A system is biased to a negative DC
bus voltage potential. When measuring voltage waveform by oscilloscope, the
scope’s ground needs to be isolated. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or death. Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that capacitors
have discharged to safe voltage levels.
Attention: EVAL-M1-IM231-A system contains DC bus capacitors which take time to
discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the drive
system, wait three minutes for capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death. Darkened display LEDs
are not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe voltage levels.
Attention: Only personnel familiar with the drive and associated machinery should plan
or implement the installation, start-up and subsequent maintenance of the
system. Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
Attention: The surfaces of the drive may become hot, which may cause injury.
Attention: EVAL-M1-IM231-A system contains parts and assemblies sensitive to
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required
when installing, testing, servicing or repairing this assembly. Component
damage may result if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not
familiar with electrostatic control procedures, refer to applicable ESD
protection handbooks and guidelines.
Attention: A drive, incorrectly applied or installed, can result in component damage or
reduction in product lifetime. Wiring or application errors such as under sizing
the motor, supplying an incorrect or inadequate AC supply or excessive
ambient temperatures may result in system malfunction.
Attention: Remove and lock out power from the drive before you disconnect or reconnect
wires or perform service. Wait three minutes after removing power to
discharge the bus capacitors. Do not attempt to service the drive until the bus

6 Schematics and Layout
To meet individual customer requirements and make the EVAL-M1-IM231-A evaluation board a basis for
development or modification, all necessary technical data like schematics, layout and components are
included in this chapter.
6.1.1 DC bus sensing and MCEWizard configuration
Pin 14 of connector J4 provides access to the DC-link voltage. Three possible feedback cases are associated
with this pin. Figure 10 provides the DC bus sense resistor details.
By default, R22 is not mounted on EVAL-M1-IM231-A. There must be a pull-down resistor mounted on the
corresponding controller board.
Figure 10 DC bus sense resistor on EVAL-M1-IM231-A evaluation board
If a pull down resistor of 4.87 kΩreferred to ground is inserted either on the EVAL-M1-IM231-A evaluation board
or on the control board, the DCBSENSE voltage results in the range of 0 to 3.3 V on the pin reflecting a DC bus
voltage range of 0 to 400 V.
If a pull down resistor of 4.87 kΩis inserted on both, EVAL-M1-IM231-A evaluation board and on the control
card, the DCBSENSE results scale to 0-1.65 V. No safety issue occurs.
The high side resistors R20 and R21 for the DC bus sensing resistor divider on the controller board EVAL-M1-
IM231-A are 2000kΩ, and should be configured in MCEWizard as shown in Figure 11. For the low side resistor
value, please refer to the User Manual of the corresponding control board.
