5 Fast Current Loop Evaluation

TI provides the FCL algorithm software library and its source code (from MC SDK v2.01.00.00 and onward) for evaluation using the TMS320F2838x, TMS320F2837x, or TMS320F28004x MCU on TI’s DesignDRIVE IDDK platform. This section presents a step-by-step approach to evaluating the FCL software library to control a permanent magnet synchronous motor using an example project.

Example project features:

  • Sensored FOC of PMSM motor
  • FCL
  • Position, speed, and torque control loops
  • Position sensor support:
    • Incremental encoder (QEP)
    • Absolute encoder - T-Format
  • Current sensing:
    • analog feedback using the ADC (from LEM sensors (Fluxgate/HALL))
    • shunt resistor using SDFM
