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.
