Software Upgrades for Technosoft DSP Development Kits

DMCode-S(BL)
Source Code Application for Brushless Motor Speed Control

This plug-in contains the complete source code routines (built around a real-time motion control kernel) for brushless motor speed control in the following modes:

• Trapezoidal mode (BLDC)
• Sinusoidal mode (PMSM - vector control)

Moreover, there are two ready-to-run complete source code applications for BLDC and PMSM control modes. For the AC motor control mode (PMSM), a vector control method is used, based on the position information given by the incremental encoder. For the DC motor control mode (BLDC), the information from the Hall sensors is used to perform the block commutation of inverter phases. These applications are structured as projects for the DMCD-Pro platform. The code is developed in both C and assembler languages.
The PMSM and BLDC motion applications may be used at two different levels of user's expertise:

• At a beginner's level, you can use these applications in order to get acquainted with a digital motion control application, by evaluating the effect of modifying the controller parameters or of applying different speed reference shapes.
• At an advanced level, in any of these applications you may add or replace certain blocks, like controllers and/or the reference generator functions, with your own algorithms. Thus, you will be able to focus on the design of new control algorithms (position control, sensorless, adaptive, etc.)

Note: DMCode-S(BL) is included in Kits C Pro-S(BL). As an upgrade option, it is only available to users who have the following Technosoft development platform: DSP board + PM50 power module + brushless motor + DMCD-Pro. It also requires TI tools (C-Compiler, assembler and Linker).

DMCode-S(IM)
Source Code Application for Induction Motor Speed Control

This plug-in contains the complete source code routines (built around a real-time motion control kernel) for the induction motor speed control in the following modes:

• Vector control (IMVC)

Moreover, there are two ready-to-run complete source code applications for IMVC and IMVF control modes. For an IMVC application, a vector control method is used, based on the rotor field position estimation. For the IMVF application, a constant ratio V/f technique is used to obtain a constant maximum torque of the motor, over all the operating frequency range. These applications are structured as projects for the DMCD-Pro platform. The code is developed in both C language and assembler.
The IMVC and IMVF motion applications may be used at two different levels of user's expertise:

• At a beginner's level, you can use these applications in order to become acquainted with a digital motion control application, by evaluating the effect of modifying the controller parameters or of applying different speed reference shapes.
