TMDXIDDK379D: TMDXIDDK379D

Pls expect an answer in a few days.

Hi
Thanks for your interest in C2000 DesignDrive and motion control.

TI has several options for your motor control development. Here are some of the development kits and their scope. These kits are developed for specific functionality. Users will have to pull the HW/SW resources to build their final solution.

Please review these material and make your selection and build accordingly. These kits are priced to encourage quick development and understanding. For prototype development this will be ideal. Any development from scratch will cost more.

TMDXIDDK379D is a high voltage motor control power stage with a motor with code examples for F28379D MCU.
This has open source example and works with quadrature feedback from the motor.

TMDXIDDK379D hardware documentation and the layout will help to explore several of the industrial of motor control features that can be experimented on this kit.

This kit is also capable of expanding connectivity with Ethercat by exchanging TMDSCNCD379D control card with TMDSECATCNCD379D.
TMDSECATCNCD379D kit comes with software example to communicate as an Ethercat Slave with any Ethercat master. Please refer to the documentation for details.

Alternatively, LP379D-BPGAN-DYNO-BNDL kit can also help develop motor control solution with a reasonable investment.

This solution works with lowcost LaunchpadXL kits with its boosterpack eco system. For Ethercat slave interface, consider connectivity boosterpack

If your application is even simpler and plans to leverage sensorless motor control solutions, consider these kits

Your intent of developing Industrial solutions is broad. We hope the above information is helpful for you to make the right decision on your motor control solution.

Thanks

Hallo Ramesh,

i just readed the answer from Sam G. which gives me a better overview of the product packages which could be a start point for our invenstment.
But i am curious if there are some more points to convience our team.
Why would a MCU solution be better than a FPGA solution for that kind of industrial applications?
Are there sample codes to help on start up, with examples?
Would be possible for somebody to get answers on technical questions from TI team or should i be expecting till somebody answers to the community?
Could a project like the one i described before, be possible to compete a FPGA solution pricely?

These are some elementary questions which i have, so before investing a lot of time i wanted to get a feedback from the community.
I will be expecting your answer with a lot of interest.

Thank you!
*Thank you Sam for your answer!

Hi
MCU+FPGA based solutions have been in use for a while. New generation FPGA have MCU cores inside and offer solutions for industrial applications. Good analog sensing will be have to be off-chip. Plus the FPGAs also handle position encoders for feedback.

While the above solution works, the overall cost may not meet the competitive solutions.

F28379D and the new generation devices offer all the MCU and analog sensing power and can handle the programmable sections such as the encoder feedback. For more details please visit the following application and training videos .

Hope this helps to answer your questions and concerns.

thanks
