Technical training is offered in cooperation with Texas Instruments
in the field of DSP motion solutions. Seminars and Workshops can
be arranged upon request.

SEMINARS ON DIGITAL MOTOR CONTROL

A one day seminar for Digital Motor Control Applications with DSP Controllers will be presented together with Texas Instruments and local distributors in different countries around Europe.
Technosoft MotionChip basic features and the advanced MotionStudio platform, as well as the other DMC development tools from Technosoft will be presented during this seminar.

The two-day workshop combines theoretical principles of digital motor control with practical exercises. The workshop starts with the presentation of the general principles of motor control and of specific Digital Motion Control tools. The TMS320F240 DSP controller is then presented, and MCK240 hardware and basic evaluation software. A complete vector control DMC application for a brushless AC motor is then build from scratch. Specific industrial application modular concepts are then presented. See the complete description of theworkshop contents for details.
