CCS/TMS320F28069M: TMS320F28069M, min acceleration possible

Part Number: TMS320F28069M

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi 

We want a slow acceleration of about 25 rpm per hour with a pump we are running. In lab 5c, we are setting acceleration on 0.000006 krpms. running the pump for about 15 hours from 1000 rpm, we never reached any higher speed with that acceleration.:

I wonder if there is a limit in the acceleration? Is there any way of having such a low acceleration working?

There is too much variation in speed as may noticed as well. 

Thank you in advance

  • The concerned engineer is on vacation and he may reply on his return. Thanks for the patience.
  • The minimum value limits to the resolution of IQ format since the instaSPIN-FOC uses IQ24. It seems like you set a too small value, the real minimum value depends on the MAX_ACCEL_KRPMPS_SF that is calculated by _IQ(USER_MOTOR_NUM_POLE_PAIRS*1000.0/USER_TRAJ_FREQ_Hz/USER_IQ_FULL_SCALE_FREQ_Hz/60.0). So the minimum acceleration must be greater than 1/MAX_ACCEL_KRPMPS_SF.

    Simply, you may check if the ctrl.traj_spd.maxDelta equals to ZERO, if yes, that means the setting value is too small.
  • Hi Yanming,

    Thank you for your reply, I could not wail to hear back!

    I have got the following:

    USER_MOTOR_NUM_POLE_PAIRS:2

    USER_IQ_FULL_SCALE_FREQ_H:300

    Yet, I am unable to find :

    ctrl.traj_spd.maxDelta & SER_TRAJ_FREQ_Hz.

    I have attached some screenshots here and will appreciate your advice:

    Regards.

  • Hi Zachary, the contacted engineer will be in on/off mode for his e2e response due to vacation, before he's back to work the coming Monday. Thank you for your patience before that!
  • You might try to add "ctrlHandle->traj_spd.maxDelta" to express window, and ensure it is greater than 1 (long integer format)by increasing the acceleration.

    You should find the USER_TRAJ_FREQ_Hz in user.h as you have attached, it is based on USER_CTRL_FREQ_Hz, and USER_CTRL_FREQ_Hz is from USER_CTRL_FREQ_Hz. You may post your "user.h", we could help you to calculate the minimum acceleration if you can't do this again.

    The minimum acceleration = 1/MAX_ACCEL_KRPMPS_SF, where the MAX_ACCEL_KRPMPS_SF uses the number by long integer format.
  • Hi Yanming,

    Thank you very much for the information.

     here and this is what I found in iuser.h

    USER_PWM_FREQ_HZ*1000/  USER_NUM_PWM_TICKS-PER_ISR_TICKS=(30*1000)/2=15000 (?)

    USER_CTRL_FREQ_HZ= USER_ISR_FREQ_HZ / USER_NUM_ISR_TICKS-PER_CTRL_TICK=15000/1

    USER_TRAJ_FREQ_HZ = USER_CTRL_FREQ_HZ/USER_NUM_CTRL_TICKS-PER_TRAJ_TICK= 15000/15=1000

    and:

    USER_MOTOR_NUM_POLE_PAIRS=2

    USER_IQ_FULL_SCALE_FREQ_HZ=300

    Therefore:

    MAX_ACCEL_KRPM_SF=(USER_MOTOR_NUM_POLE_PAIRS*1000)/(USER_IQ_FULL_SCALE_FREQ_HZ*USER_TRAJ_FREQ_HZ*60)=9 Krpms(?)

    When adding ctrlHandle>-traj.spd.maxDelta to express window and by doing try and error, I have got 0.00108 krpms as min acceleration to result 2 for ctrlHandle>-traj.spd.maxDelta.This is equal 3600 rpm per hour acceleration while I need 0.01 of this acceleration (36 rpm per hour). What is the best way to achieve this low acceleration? It seems that I can play with USER_NUM_PWM_TICKS-PER_ISR_TICKS, USER_PWM_FREQ_HZ, USER_CTRL_FREQ_HZ and USER_NUM_CTRL_TICKS-PER_TRAJ_TICK?

    Can I  please have an email address to send the user.h file?-it does not attach here.

    Thank you very much in advance

  • Fine, the minimum acceleration is _IQ(0.000536481) based on your system, please don't set the value of acceleration is less than _IQ(0.000536481).

    The MAX_ACCEL_KRPMPS_SF is _IQ(0.000111111) which equals to 1864 (long), so the minimum acceleration should be _IQ(1/1864) = _IQ(0.000536481) to keep it greater than 1 (long).
  • Hi Yanming Luo,

    Thank you very much for your reply. This acceleration is equal to about 1900 revolution per hour. Requirement for my application is 40 revolution per hour approx.

    Could you please advise possible ways to achieve this? -changing USER_TRAJ_FREQ, Full_SCALE_FREQ..?)

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Regards.

    Farya

  • You could decrease USER_TRAJ_FREQ_Hz by changing USER_NUM_CTRL_TICKS_PER_TRAJ_TICK to a bigger value.
