Customizable Motor-Mounted Module

STMicroelectronics's SPIMD20 is anintegrated motor drive with real time connectivity enabling brushless motormanufacturers to create a proprietary motion control system based on a generalpurpose brick. The shuttle version of the IMD is suitable for directintegration to the permanent magnet synchronous motor (i.e. 6 Nm torque)because of the reduced dimensions (165 x 60 x 26 mm). The Shuttle Drive isdesigned to operate on a motor with a surface temperature up to 100 C . The IMDperforms all motor driving required functions including speed, position andcurrent loop execution, plus connectivity. Connection to the master isperformed via real time ethernet fieldbus, including but not limited toEtherCAT as per IEC61158. The IMD is an open and flexible platform to executeany other communication standard with the aboard FPGA (Altera Cyclone III type)and the two microprocessors STM32F103 series. A basic software package isavailable with SPIMD20. This software package includes PWM driving, currentloop and speed loop execution; all the above being synchronized to thefieldbus.
