Figure 2-1 shows the overall system. The system includes the TIDA-01599 reference design, a diagnostics MCU (SIL 1), which is not part of the TIDA-01599 design, an isolated DC|DC gate drive power supply TIDA-00199(1) and a three-phase IGBT power stage with CMOS input isolated gate drivers, as for example implemented with TIDA-00195(2).
The TIDA-01599 reference design incorporates dual 24-V isolated inputs through ISO1211 for the STO_1 and STO_2 signals. OSSD pulses are supported through low-pass filters which should reject STO pulses of less than 1 ms. The outputs of the STO_1 and STO_2 subsystem provide the corresponding supply voltage P24V and VCC. The STO_1 and STO_2 signals control the primary (VCC) and secondary (P24-V) side power supply to the six isolated IGBT gate drivers through a power switch TPS22919 and a high-side switch TPS27S100, respectively. P24V is the 24-V input voltage to the isolated DC|DC converter TIDA-00199. The TIDA-00199 board accepts 24 V with a tolerance of ±20% and provides four isolated sets (15 V, –8 V) of bias voltages. In this design, the TIDA-00199 is used to provide the bipolar supply to the secondary side of the six isolated IGBT gate drivers. VCC is the supply voltage to the primary logic side of the six isolated gate drivers.
As long as a logic 1 (+24-V DC) is present at both STO inputs, the motor is operable. If there is a logic 0 (0 V) at one or both of the STO inputs, the power supplies to the gate drivers are disconnected and the motor coasts down to zero. The use of 1oo2 architecture helps achieve HFT = 1 and only the occurrence of two simultaneous faults can cause failure of the safety function.
An STO_FB signal is provided to indicate the status of the drive (safe state or normal operation) and can be used to feedback the status of the drive to a safety PLC for additional diagnostics, if desired.
The diagnostic signals are routed to a 3.3-V LaunchPad™ compatible interface to connect an MCU (SIL 1) such as a C2000 MCU to run the corresponding diagnostic and monitoring software. The MCU (SIL 1) and the software are not part of this design.
