4.2.3 Lab Software Overview

Figure 4-5 shows the project software flow diagram of the firmware that includes one ISR for real time motor control and the main loop for motor control parameters that updates in a background loop. The ISR is triggered by ADC End of Conversion (EOC).

To simplify the system bring up and design, the software is organized in four incremental builds, which makes learning and getting familiar with the board and software easier. This approach is also good for debugging and testing boards.

Table 4-4 lists the framework modules to be used in this project.

  1. √ means this module is used. √√ means this module is being tested.
  2. √ (eSMO)* means this module is only used by eSMO. √ (ENC)* means this module is only used by ENC. √ (HALL)* means this module is only used by HALL.
  3. √** means this module is supported by some hardware kit as shown in Table 4-1.

The universal project can use one of the FOC algorithms separately for motor control, or use two of the eSMO and encoder FOC algorithms simultaneously. The estimator in use can be switched smoothly on the fly if two algorithms are implemented in the project.
