Platform Accelerates Multi-Axis Motor Control Design

XMOS teams up with Larsen & Toubro Limited Integrated Engineering Services to create a development platform enabling rapid design of multi-axis motor control solutions including BLDC and PMSM motors. The platform employs XMOS deterministic processors with 500MIPS per core, allowing high performance control, interface and computational blocks in software. The determinism of the architecture guarantees that real-time requirements are met. The XMOS platform includes a control and communications board and a separate power board providing two channels of 24V, tri-phase motor drive with feedback. The kit includes two motors with trapezoidal and field-oriented control drive technique examples. XMOS, Burlingame, CA. (866) 748-5434.
