Motor Control Libraries for TMS570

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE, MOTORWARE

Hi,

Is there any documentation about motor control libraries for TMS570 family. In control suite i found some documents for  F28xx family and i think there are some differenties between this two families library files. Some control libraries for TMS570 doesn't match with its explanation at the document which documented for F28xx.

  • Hi Furkan

    My suggestion for you is to update your controlSUITE to the latest firstly. If still can't find proper documents, you can ask to the Hercules forum to get expert suggestion. http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/hercules/default.aspx 

    Thanks.

  • There is pretty limited documentation for the software modules used to build motor control solutions for Hercules.

    However, nearly everything done on Hercules was previously done for a C2000 device, and the software building blocks are very similar.

    You will notice that the latest Hercules kits - like DRV8301-LS31-KIT - actually use something called MotorWare.

    MotorWare as a product is actually something you can download and is the way we create and document the C2000 InstaSPIN-FOC and InstaSPIN-MOTION solutions.  But before we released this standalone MotorWare we used the existing MotorWare infrastructure and software standards to do the Hercules projects.

    So, if you are using a Hercules kit that says it was built using MotorWare, I would actually install the MotorWare tool and run MotorWare.exe from the installation directory.  From here, you can actually browse all of the Doxygen based documentation for the modules - which are very similar if not identical - to those used in the Hercules kits.
