Motor Control Solution Optimizes Controls Development for Electric Drives
Summary
Wixom, November 9, 2020.To make electric vehicles more robust, more economical, and less expensive, their drives use the latest semiconductor technology in combination with complex control systems. Application examples can be found in highly automated industrial plants or in harvesting machines, in which low-cost electric motors are increasingly replacing complex and rigidly coupled mechanical drives. A key requirement in developing the AC Motor Control (ACMC) Solution for the MicroAutoBox III was full compatibility with existing hardware and software components from dSPACE. This gives users the best possible support for switching to the MicroAutoBox III system to benefit from its higher computing power and new I/O modules (e.g., the DS1521 Bus Board). The I/O functions of the MicroAutoBox III AC Motor Control Solution are based on dSPACE libraries developed for direct FPGA programming.
