Motion Control IP implementing FOC?

Hi, does anybody know if there is any Motion Control IP available which implements Field-Oriented-Control for electrical machines? Specially I am searching for vhdl-code including Clark-Pa...

Hi Pillemann,

Thanks for your interest in Alizem Motor Control IP.

Yes, this servo-drive Motor Control IP does include SVPWM, current/torque control loops, speed & position control loops. What's on electrical side (SVPWM & current loops) are hardware-based and what's on mechanical side (speed & position loops) are software-based to optimize FPGA ressource/CPU utilisation. For motor having very small time constants (i.e. small motor for medical applications), it is possible to have speed & position loops in hardware.

This IP is packaged as an SOPC-builder components with associated C software drivers library (API) that are automatically generated and ready to build user application. Hence, the user can interact with this IP using very simple commands like set_speed(speed), set_position(position), etc.

No motor control nor FPGA expertise are needed to use Alizem Motor Control IP.

Regards,
