Hardware Troubleshooting

Resolve issues related to custom hardware

When you work with a custom hardware (hardware not used in the Motor Control Blockset™ examples), you may face trouble running the motor. Follow these instructions to identify and debug these issues.

In addition to examples supporting custom hardware deployment, Motor Control Blockset provides examples that are not pre-configured with device drivers for any particular hardware. For more information, see Generic (ANSI C) Code Generation.

For details about Motor Control Blockset examples that illustrate modeling and control of motor control applications for different microcontrollers, real-time systems, and FPGA hardware kits and enable auto-deployment (deployment with pre-configured device drivers) to the target device, see Hardware-Specific Code Generation.
