TMS320F28027F: INSTASpin FOC

Part Number: TMS320F28027F
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV8316, MCF8329A, MOTORWARE

Tool/software:

Dear team,

My customer is interested in INSTASpin sensorless FOC of F28027F.

I referred below thread and learned we cannot use any GUI to evaluate F2802x for InstaSPIN. Is is not changed still?
https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/c2000-microcontrollers-group/c2000/f/c2000-microcontrollers-forum/1075983/tms320f280025c-how-to-use-instaspin-universal-gui-with-tmdscncd280025c

Also can I know the maximum value of electrical frequency that F28027F can support? I tried GUI and I could input any speedRef value in the box.
You can assume the condition with 24Vin, 1kW motor load, DRV8316. 

Why I am asking this is they are comparing MCF8329A and it can support GUI based development and up to around 3kHz electrical speed. (in practical around 1.5kHz)

Best regards,
Yuto Kitamura

  • I referred below thread and learned we cannot use any GUI to evaluate F2802x for InstaSPIN. Is is not changed still?

    Yes. You can use this GUI or use CCS directly to spin a motor. Please take a look at the lab user's guide in motorWare that has a detailed operation instruction.

    Also can I know the maximum value of electrical frequency that F28027F can support? I tried GUI and I could input any speedRef value in the box.

    That is related to the motor and the adding load on the motor, not only the MCU controller and control algorithm.

  • Hi Yanming,

    That is related to the motor and the adding load on the motor, not only the MCU controller and control algorithm.

    >> Yes, that is why I proposed you can estimate 1kW motor load and understand there is mathematics equation between electrical power(W) and torque[Nm] and rotation speed[rpm].

    Even it is free wheel (no load), the algorithm should have control speed limitation. Can you let me know the reference value to understand how much TI InstaSPIN has capability to control motor and decide the solution. I believe InstaSPIN must have higher capability vs. MCF8329A.

  • >> Yes, that is why I proposed you can estimate 1kW motor load and understand there is mathematics equation between electrical power(W) and torque[Nm] and rotation speed[rpm].

    It's difficult to estimate the maximum running speed that needs very exact motor parameters, the adding load, and the dc bus voltage.

    Can you let me know the reference value to understand how much TI InstaSPIN has capability to control motor and decide the solutio

    Yes, the instaSPIN-FOC can run the motor to its maximum frequency as the other controllers or algorithms, there is no any limitation on algorithm side.
