Replacement for TMDX570LS12CNCD

Hello,

This control card is no longer supported and is not available anymore. You can get a LaunchPad (https://www.ti.com/tool/LAUNCHXL2-TMS57012 ) along with a DRV8301 (https://www.ti.com/tool/BOOSTXL-DRV8301 ) or DRV3245 (https://www.ti.com/tool/BOOSTXL-DRV3245AQ1 ) boosterpack to implement / demonstrate safe motor control.

Hello,

You can download Hercules Motorware demo code projects from here: https://git.ti.com/cgit/hercules_examples/hercules_examples/tree/Application/motorware?h=master 

This demo projects are written for the TMDX570LS12CNCD so they would need modification before they can be run on the LaunchPad + BoosterPack combination. You can run the control algorithm as-is with the correct modifications made for the ADC input channels and PWM outputs.

Looks like our posts crossed. The correct code to the demo projects is in my previous post.

The LaunchPad (LP) connects to the BoosterPack (BP) via the headers shown in your post. The PWM signals on this header are wired to N2HETx terminals on the LP. If you want to use ePWMx modules to generate the required PWM signals, you will need to connect "blue" wires from the connectors on the LP outer edge to the BP connectors. This is not convenient, but not very difficult.

The other option is to use N2HET to generate the PWM signals.

Hello,

The boosterpack standard defines some pins as "reserved". Unfortunately some boosterpack definitions did not follow this "standard" and used these reserved pins for required signals, such as IC-FB. See below picture of the required standard that was defined for these headers.

In this case, you will also have to wire the IC-FB pin from BP header to the desired ADC input channel on the "edge" connector on the LP.

As for downloading the example projects, the best method is to clone the entire "hercules_examples" repository. You can find the instructions at the bottom of the page here: https://git.ti.com/cgit/hercules_examples/hercules_examples/
