LAUNCHXL-F28377S: EtherCAT Comminication

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28377S


Hi Everyone;

I have a F28377S Lanuchpad. I controlled DC Motor with C2000 and I use Matlab-Simulink Block.

Now, Im gonna use Maxon DC Motor which is supported EtherCAT Com. I wonder something abouth this subject.

Can I control Maxon DC Driver with F28377S. Again Im gonna use Simulink Ethercat block. I mean F28377S available for master Ethercat.

Is there any example or study about this subject

    HI
    In theory, F28377x is capable of driving any motors. Now that you have DC motor solutions already running the control code on C2000, adapting it for F28377x should be easy. Usually Drive control MCU is a slave with Ethercat slave stack SW on C2000 MCU. We have a TIdesign that can help to understand this better.

    At this point I am not aware of Simulink based C2000 Ethercat code/examples to reference.

    We have not seen a necessity to use C2000 MCU as Ethercat master. This is usually implemented with any Ethernet based MPUs/MCUs.
    We have Ethercat master solutions using a Sitara host MPU. The following link can add the necessary background for this.

    Hope this helps.
    Thanks
