8 Summary

This evaluation platform helps to control two different motors with FCL technology, and with or without SFRA. The FCL shows a substantial improvement in control bandwidth and phase margin. The SFRA tool shows the impact of FCL on control bandwidth and phase margin, and evaluates the current and speed control loop performance.

The presence of fast ADC, control law architecture (CLA) and trigonometric math unit (TMU) helped to reduce the latency between feedback sampling and PWM update, in turn, resulted in higher control bandwidth and increase in maximum modulation index. Higher modulation index helps to improve the DC bus utilization by the drive and to increase the control speed range of the motor.

Depending on the control speed range of motors in target applications, it is possible to control dual motors in multi-axes configurations using FCL with a single F2837x or F28004x series controller, this makes it suitable for high end servo control applications.
