Motor control software solution

12 June 2013 Design Automation

Texas Instruments is aiming to liberate designers from limited operating ranges and time consuming tuning processes with the new InstaSPIN-MOTION motor control solution.

This is a comprehensive torque-, speed- and motion-control software solution that delivers robust system performance at high efficiency for motor applications that operate in various motion state transitions.

Built upon TI’s InstaSPIN-FOC motor control solution, InstaSPIN-MOTION is designed to optimise complex motion sequences, reduce tuning to a single parameter and track desired trajectories with high accuracy across operating ranges.

TI’s InstaSPIN-FOC solution takes advantage of the FAST premium software sensor for rotor flux measurement and provides motor identification, automatic current control tuning and sensorless feedback in a field-oriented control (FOC) torque controller and speeds deployment of efficient, sensorless, variable load three-phase motor solutions.

Adding extra motor control functionality, InstaSPIN-MOTION enables more expertise on chip. With the core algorithms embedded in the read-only-memory (ROM) on TI’s 32-bit C2000 Piccolo microcontrollers (MCUs), InstaSPIN-MOTION integrates SpinTAC components from LineStream Technologies, featuring optimised motion profiling, single-parameter tuning and a disturbance-rejecting controller. InstaSPIN-MOTION can be used with sensored feedback or with the included sensorless InstaSPIN-FOC solution.
