Electric Motor Control | How to Use Rapid Control Prototyping to Validate Electric Motors and Power Converters, Part 2

From the series: How to Use Rapid Control Prototyping to Validate Electric Motors and Power Converters

Dr. Carlos Villegas, Speedgoat

Learn how to deploy and test a field-oriented control (FOC) algorithm with a PMSM motor using Speedgoat^® hardware for rapid control prototyping. Explore how to:

Transition from desktop simulation to real-time testing by adding and configuring Speedgoat I/O driver blocks for PWM generation and quadrature decoding
Read phase currents with synchronized analog inputs • Leverage Simulink^® dashboard blocks as a graphical user interface to interact with the target computer
Use the Field Oriented Control Autotuner block from Motor Control Blockset™
Deploy the algorithm to an FPGA by using HDL Coder™ to increase the achievable sampling frequency
