MotorWare update & roadmap

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE

Hello,

MotorWare v1.01.00.08 will be live on Thursday June 20th.

As always, the full list of release notes is included in MotorWare.exe under Resources --> Revision History.

Key Updates for _08:

  • PWM TICK allows for easy use of the ePWM hardware decimation (ADC SOC 1st/2nd/3rd event)
  • new default PWM/CTRL ticks in user.h for all three kits
  • PWM drivers updated to properly synchronize all three ePWM modules (previous versions there is a very small offset)
  • the drv.c/.h files were moved out of the solutions\instaspin_xxx\board directory and up into the drivers\drv\boards directory for better portability
    • Ex: C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_08\sw\drivers\drv\boards\drv8301kit_revD\f28x\f2806x\src
  • Flash wait-states fixed
  • Every project built for Flash or RAM
  • New SpinTAC library
  • Lab10a/b for field weakening and modulation

I also wanted to let you know of some items that are in test/development for future releases

  • Updated PWM compare loading scheme to improve sampling window
  • Angle compensation for high speed operation when motor Hz becomes significant % of estimator KHz
  • Support of user FPU
  • DPWM example
  • Trip Zones / Fault Management updates for hardware
  • PowerWarp Lab (lab08)
  • Flying Start Example / Demo
  • New universal GUI that will work with any MotorWare compiled .out
  • Position control (encoder w/ FAST redundancy) example for InstaSPIN-MOTION.
  • New Piccolo device being supported for InstaSPIN-FOC: MotorWare support and new controlCARD
