TMDSHVMTRINSPIN: Using TI TMDSHVMTRINSPIN Kit with SIMULINK for Motor Control

Part Number: TMDSHVMTRINSPIN

Tool/software:

TL;DR:
I am trying to implement basic induction motor (IM) control with the TMDSHVMTRINSPIN kit + F28069MISO controlCARD plugged in, using Simulink for control and feedback. I did as much as I could reviewing TI docs, setting up the softwares/toolboxes/add-on, and I checked a PFC example for PMSM on MathWorks's website. I am looking for references, example projects, or tips to manage to do a simple motor control demo with Simulink, nothing too complex, but a working demo that I understand fully.


Hello!

I am working on a motor controller based on the TMDSHVMTRINSPIN kit + the F28069MISO controlCARD, using SIMULINK for command and supervision.

This project aims to build a test bench for a 1.5 kW asynchronous motor (IM).

My goals are as follows:

  • Speed variation of the IM
  • Scalar control U/f = constant via SIMULINK
  • If possible, real-time display of parameters' estimated values by the MCU


Work done so far:

  • Installed the TI software suite associated with the kit and controlCARD
  • Read the technical documentation of the kit on TI’s website and software resources
  • Checked the configuration of the MCU jumpers and the controlCARD switches, according to the quick start guides and the rest of the documentation
  • Got an isolator for my PC to protect against the floating ground of the kit
  • Got a 300W/220VAC asynchronous motor for initial testing
  • Installed MATLAB + SIMULINK, the required toolboxes, and the C2000 TI add-on
  • Reviewed the Simulink PFC example provided by MathWorks for this kit + F28069MISO + PMSM (I understood the general conecept, but struggle with the background SIMULINK mechanic)


I am struggling to understand much from this point forward using SIMULINK. Ideally, my current goal is to manage to make a very basic simple demo of induction motor control through SIMULINK with this kit, nothing too big or complex for a first test. Maybe just setting the speed, or even showing the real time speed estimation of the controlCARD and the C2000 board in SIMULINK, as long as I learn and understand along the way.

Have you any guidelines/instructions/demos that could further help me do a simple SIMULINK design?
Or maybe reference projects, notes, tips, etc that could be useful in my use case? with the TMDSHVMTRINSPIN. 

I fully understand that adaptations might be required in some cases, but any guidance or concrete example would be of great help in moving towards a functional SIMULINK project.

I am familiar with the basics of MATLAB/SIMULINK, but I have not yet implemented a motor control solution via SIMULINK.

Thanks a lot in advance for any guidance or shared experience!
I'll keep searching on my side.
