Real-Time XMOS Motor Control Platform
XMOS launched their motor control platform for highly efficient motor control designs. The XMOS motor control hardware platform provides dual-axis 3-phase motor control using an XS1-L1, and a communications and logging subsystem using an XS1-L2. It includes a framework of control, processing and interfacing functions. The motor control platform will be available in December. The XMOS motor control platform consists of:
- XCore hard real-time, multi-threaded processors
- XMOS motor control hardware board, with support for dual axis motor control and communication
- A suite of control, processing and interfacing functions, to help designers quickly develop advanced motor drives entirely in high level software programming languages
