BOOSTXL-POSMGR: Simulink blocks for Sin/Cos Encoder interface to work with LAUNCHXL-F28379D

Simulink blocks for Sin/Cos Encoder interface to work with LAUNCHXL-F28379D

I am a university researcher and we are currently in the process of buying kits for students using the LAUNCHXL-F28379D MCU with inverters and motors. We will be using encoders and for normal encoders I think we can interface them using interrupts on the F28379D directly and we can use its Simulink available blocks. But we also need a Sin/Cos Encoder interface to work with LAUNCHXL-F28379D like the BOOSTXL-PosMGR.

My question, can the BOOSTXL-POSMGR encoder module be interfaced with Simulink when plugged with the MCU?

If yes, is there also tutorials preferably with the same F28379D model number?

Thanks

  • Mohannad,

    Thanks for reaching out to the E2E, I'll need to check with the MW team if they have intrinsic support of this booster pack.  I do know there is an option to port the C source into Embedded Coder, and there should be example C projects in our motorware package for each format that is supported on this Booster pack as well.  So as a fallback option we could leverage that.  I believe that some of the encoder interfaces rely on using the CLB on the device to implement some custom logic unique to the format.  There's no reason this couldn't be loaded outside Matlab/Simulink if need be.

    Best,
    Matthew

  • Hi,

    Please check this post. It talks about a possible approach:

  • Thank you Matthew for helpful information and for the links provided.

  • Thank you Venkatesh for the helpful information.

    I considered this as the solution even though we still didn't buy the hardware. From the details shared including the snapshots and from the links provided by Matthew, it seems an easy to follow process. This is good for us to understand before buying the hardware.

    Once, we get the hardware and follow the instructions, I'll share my feedback and if there are questions or not. For now, this is a satisfying answer.

    Regards,
