TMDXIDDK379D: TMDXIDDK379D: firmware availability with the kit and technical queries

Part Number: TMDXIDDK379D


I wish to buy TMDXIDDK379D kit. 

Before that, I want to know more about the kit functionality/features :
With this kit, is it possible to move PMAC motor both in positioning mode (holding the position of the motor based on its feedback sensor) and velocity mode ?

All the source code for its firmware is available with the kit or not?

Can it run any PMSM motor having range of 100 to 700 watts? If not, then what is the particularity of PMSM needs to be look for to be compatible with this kit ?
Is it possible to run BLDC motor in veocity mode with Hall sensor position sensor using this kit?
Is it possible to run BLDC motor in velocity mode with sensorless control ?

    Hi Vishnu,

    I am writing to let you know that a C2000 team member has been assigned to answer this post.

    Thanks
    Vasudha

    All the information reg the kit is available in the web

    www.ti.com/.../TMDXIDDK377D

    With this kit, is it possible to move PMAC motor both in positioning mode (holding the position of the motor based on its feedback sensor) and velocity mode ?
    --yes

    All the source code for its firmware is available with the kit or not?
    -- yes, for those released projects

    Can it run any PMSM motor having range of 100 to 700 watts? If not, then what is the particularity of PMSM needs to be look for to be compatible with this kit ?
    -- yes, spec 350V dc, 8A per phase

    Is it possible to run BLDC motor in veocity mode with Hall sensor position sensor using this kit?
    -- yes, code is not provided for this platform, you need to develop yourself.

    Is it possible to run BLDC motor in velocity mode with sensorless control ?
    -- yes, voltage sensing hardware may need to be tweaked based on your implementation requirement

    Thanks for all the answers.

    I did go through the User Guide of the Kit.
    I did not find any mention about Hall sensor supporting section in the Kit Hardware features.
    Can you explain a little about how can it be possible without having supporting hardware on the kit?

    Vishnu,

    The QEP interface circuit is basically a level shifter, and you can connect the HALL sensor signals there if they are also at 5V. This signals will feed into GPIOs that are muxed with QEP. You may choose to initialize these GPIOs not as QEP, but per your requirement. Then you need to identify the logics for implementing your algorithm.

    Thank you very much for making me enlighten about the functionality.
    Now its cleared to me.
