Qdesys Sfoc Demo Set Up And Instructions; Introduction - Xilinx Spartan 6 FPGA Quick Start Manual

Qdesys Sensorless Field Oriented Control Quick Start Guide
Qdesys Sensorless Field Oriented Control
Demo Setup & Instructions
This guide provides detailed information for getting started with the Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA Motor Control
Development Kit using Qdesys IP for Sensorless Field Oriented Control of DC motors.

Introduction

The Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA Motor Control Development Kit was designed by Avnet in collaboration with
Xilinx. The kit is designed for ease-of-use, flexibility to support multiple DC motor types, and
demonstration of advanced algorithms exhibiting high performance and efficiency.
Traditional HDL-based reference designs are provided as an introduction to FPGA-based motor control.
®
ISE Design Suite: System Edition is used to implement the top-level design, leveraging System
Generator for DSP to design, verify, and generate HDL for a PI speed control loop using MathWorks®
Simulink®. These designs may be downloaded from Avnet's Design Resource Center (DRC). Here is
the link to the Avnet DRC:
In addition to these HDL designs, a demonstration of a powerful set of modular building blocks for
Sensorless Field Oriented Control (SFOC) from third-party IP provider Qdesys is also available on the
Avnet DRC. This design suite includes FOC algorithms, advanced modulation schemes, and a
comprehensive graphical user interface for monitoring motor parameters and fine tuning performance.
This User's Guide will walk you through the steps to setup the Spartan-6 LX75T development board and
the Motor FMC daughter card and to run the basic Qdesys Sensorless Field Oriented Control
demonstration. If you have not already installed the Xilinx ISE
steps to install the software, get updates and generate a license.
