Overview
Are you facing challenges in developing motor control systems for multicore microcontrollers, such as partitioning control algorithms, managing inter-processor communication, or synchronization between cores?
Attend this webinar to learn how Model-Based Design helps you design motor control applications for multicore MCUs such as TI C2000 F2837xD / F2838xD devices.
In this webinar, a MathWorks engineer will highlight issues that can arise when using a multicore MCU for motor control applications. You will learn how to use Simulink with SoC Blockset and Motor Control Blockset to design a two-core implementation of a field-oriented control (FOC) algorithm – higher control-loop rates will be achieved by allocating the current and velocity controllers to the two processor cores.
A TI engineer will discuss TI’s multicore devices and review the architectures that are being used in today’s motor control applications.
Highlights
- Modeling a velocity control system of a PMSM motor with field-oriented control
- Modeling the TI C2000 F2837xD architecture and simulating the complete system with the dual-core MCU
- Modeling MCU peripheral behavior, such as ADC-PWM synchronization
- Generating the motor control application using Embedded Coder with SoC Blockset
- Deploying the compiled application to the TI Delfino F28379D LaunchPad
- Performing simultaneous real-time multicore on-device profiling
