TIDEP0061

4-Axis CNC Router with 250-kHz Control Loop with PRU-ICSS based on SORTE Reference Design

TIDEP0061

Design files

Overview

The TIDEP0061 reference design implements an application example of an 4-axis CNC router with 250 kHz control loop based on the Simple Open Real-Time Ethernet (SORTE) protocol with the Programmable Real-time Unit and Industrial Communication SubSystem (PRU-ICSS). SORTE enables customer applications to exchange process data between the master and devices in a 4-µs cycle time. The design contains open source PRU firmware to enable customer to differentiate their products.

Features
  • 4-axis CNC router application example driving stepper motors
  • Based on SORTE protocol
  • Enables 4-µs cycle time to exchange process data
  • PRU firmware provided in source code
  • Fully customizable PRU firmware
