TMDXIDDK379D: http://www.ti.com/tool/TMDXIDDK379D#3

Part Number: TMDXIDDK379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, DESIGNDRIVE, SFRA

Application : Develop advanced control algorithms for Induction and PMSM motors.

As I understand, the kit TMDXIDDK379D offers a complete package, and one needs to only do the control logic part in code composer(Which is what I could understand)

In the thread title, one can see 5 products listed in the page. I wanted to know some details so that I can decide what all to buy. Thanks.

 Also I would be happy if some technical team can contact me in my email : jeeva.cts@gmail.com

    Hello Jeevanand,

    The first 2 products are the IDDK and the IDDK with a bundled motor.  The same motor used in the development of the projects that accompany the IDDK board in controlSUITE.  At this time, we are out of stock on the motors so the bundle is not available.  I would suggest ordering the TMDXIDDK379D now and then deciding later if you want to use the motor when it returns to stock.  You can by the motor separately from the TI store with the part number: VPMSMMTR. 

    If you haven't already, you may want to check out the training videos related to this board and our DesignDRIVE solutions at: training.ti.com/c2000-designdrive and start with Section 1.  These may answer some of your current questions.

    Our primary channel for technical support is via this E2E forum.  Please search and post here as your first step for technical support.

    Thanks Mr Fortman, and the videos are very helpful.

     I am intending to buy something which will enable my students to jump start high end research work on drive control schemes for various machines like IM , PMSM etc.

    Keeping this in mind, can you suggest any other boards of TI , or will this one would be the best choice for the above requirement? I am pretty new to TI boards.

    Professor,

    My opinion is that if you want one board that offers options to experiment with various current sensing schemes, power topologies, position feedback interfaces as well as industrial communications and industrial safety options, this is the only board in TI that offers that for drives.  You may be able to find other EVMs or TIDesigns that support one of these flexible options but not all together and not capable of supporting "high voltage" motors.

    The software support, via C2000 controlSUITE, will provide step by step builds in support of PMSM and ACI motors.  I would also suggest taking a look a the Fast Current Loop software solution (also in controlSUITE) that will showcase ways to get the most performance (current loop control BW) out of our silicon while maintaining the modulation index and excellent phase margin.  

    On the side of current loop performance measurement, I would also suggest the LP379D-BPGAN-DYNO-BNDL which is supported by the latest SFRA_FCL software release and includes built-in free tools for measuring the open loop and closed loop frequency response.  The bundle includes the control board, 2 GaN inverter boards and 2 motors combined in a dyno configuration.  It is a pretty good deal at less than $600, in my opinion.  It does not offer the options on feedback, sensing, high voltage, etc. though.

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks Brian for a detailed response. The options which you suggested is also very good. Will decide upon it.

    With best regards
