MOTOR & MOTION CONTROL DEVELOPMENT KITS DEVELOPED BY The XMOS Motor & Motion Control development FEATURES kits are integrated board and software packages Modular development platform which contain everything embedded systems o Control, communications and drive designers need to begin developing single and interface modules based on multi-axis motion control applications on the Synapticon SOMANET technology powerful xCORE multicore microcontrollers. o Dimensions: 40 x 50 x 15mm Based on Synapticon SOMANET technology the o Suitable for small volume production compact platforms are ideal for designers seeking Core module: to add intelligenceclose to the nod in o Programmable control module with automation projects. Unlike other motion controllers, up to 2000MIPS the XMOS platform is completely programmable in o Run control loops faster than PWM C/C++ enabling designers to rapidly customize (> 62 kHz) the platform to meet the exact needs of their o Distributed real-time control applications and implement motion control o Allocate motion control intelligence to intelligence at the motor. motor controllers The kits include an xCORE powered control module Drive interface module: (CORE), a communications module (COM), and a o Brushless DC (BLDC), brushed DC and motor interface drive module (IFM) as well as the stepper motor interconnect cables. Software, development tools o 120W, 3-phase, 8- 24V DC and manuals are available from the XMOS website. Communications module: o EtherCAT (Linux master available) The motor control software is available to download via xTIMEcomposer and contains Software modules: everything required to use the hardware resources, o Current, speed and position control including motor commutation with position, speed loops, closed on slave or master and torque/current control loops and a CiA402 o CiA402 drive profile compliant drive profile. XMOS MOTOR & MOTION CONTROL DEVELOPMENT KIT PRODUCT BRIEF SOMANET CORE The Core C22 module features two interconnected 16-core XMOS XS1-L16 processors in a compact format. Measuring just 30mm x 30mm and providing up to 2000MIPS while typically consuming under 1W, it can be said that this board is probably the most efficient piece of embedded hardware available. SOMANET IFM DRIVE The IFM Drive DC100 implements latest power transistor technology to efficiently drive one brushless DC motor with up to 120 W. Hall-effect based current sensors for each phase, together with a high-quality ADC enable sophisticated control concepts such as current-based torque control. An RS422-compatible quadrature encoder interface and a port with SPI, ADC input and GPIOs, the module supports any external sensor that may be required by your application. SOMANET COM Communication interface modules (COMs) provide the network link. COM EtherCAT provides Industrial Ethernet technology for communication within a SOMANET-based system, and unlike other compact EtherCAT solutions includes on-board Ethernet transceivers and magnetics. COM EtherCAT provides safe signalling over common 100BASE-TX distances using SFTP cables. An open source EtherCAT Linux master is available to simplify evaluations. Windows users must purchase a suitable EtherCAT master such as Beckhoff TwinCAT. DEVELOPMENT TOOLS Download the latest version of xTIMEcomposer development tools at
