Texas Instruments introduced DesignDRIVE, a single hardware and software platform that makes it easier for engineers to develop and evaluate solutions for many industrial drives and servo topologies.
The DesignDRIVE kit and sample software provide an easy way to easily explore various motor types, sensing technologies, encoder standards, and communication networks, and are easily extended to develop real-time Ethernet communication and functional safety topologies for more comprehensive development. , Integrated system solutions. TI C2000-based real-time control architecture? Microcontroller (MCU), DesignDRIVE is ideal for developing industrial inverters and servo drives for robotics, computer numerically controlled machinery (CNC), elevators, material handling and other industrial manufacturing applications.
DesignDRIVE Suite is Integrated and Flexible – The DesignDRIVE Suite provides an integrated design with a full power stage to drive a three-phase motor, simplifying the evaluation of various feedback sensing and control topologies. The kit includes a 180-pin HSEC controlCARD based on the TI C2000 Delfino TMS320F28377D MCU. The IC integrates dual C28x real-time processing cores and dual CLA real-time coprocessors, provides 800 MIPS floating-point performance, and has integrated trigonometric functions and FFTs. Acceleration function.
The complex sensing peripherals on the MCU, including eight sigma-delta filters, four high-performance 16-bit ADCs, and eight windowed comparators, enable the DesignDRIVE Kit to support parallel, fluxgate / hall, and delta- sigma current detection. For position feedback, the kit utilizes an integrated MCU to support interfacing with parsers and incremental encoders. In addition, customers can explore configuration options to place the MCU on either side of the high-voltage isolation barrier. The DesignDRIVE kit plugs into a 110V / 220V AC power source, provides up to 8A, and can drive motors up to one horsepower.
DesignDRIVE extensible software simplifies development – ??The C2000 controlSUITE software package supports DesignDRIVE software, which includes specific examples of motor vector control, which combine current, speed, and position loops to help developers quickly evaluate and develop. The DesignDRIVE suite will serve as a common platform to showcase TI's new drive projects, which will be delivered through future controlSUITE releases. In addition, the kit comes with TI's Code Composer Studio integrated development environment (IDE), which provides code generation and debugging capabilities. TI's C2000 F28377D MCU also supports Altair's VisSim-based simulation software tools.
Designers can begin using TI's DesignDRIVE kit (TMDXIDDK377D) to evaluate various industrial drive designs, including hardware, software, and high-voltage PMSM motors with QEP encoders. In addition, the company said that customers can retrofit their own motors and purchase kits without a motor (TMDXIDDK377D).
