This training is meant for engineers designing the control circuits for servo or AC inverter motor controllers for industrial machinery. In particular, the on-demand curriculum is for those who are planning to develop their next drive system based on a C2000™ microcontroller (MCU) and are interested in quickly learning how to use the DesignDRIVE solutions available from TI.

C2000 MCU DesignDRIVE, a new evaluation platform to explore numerous industrial drive subsystems and motor control topologies. This evaluation platform supports various motor types, current sensing technologies and position sensors.

An introduction to the new DesignDRIVE Position Manager technology for TMS320F28379D and TMS320F28379S Delfino™ real-time controllers.  Position Manager provides solutions for interfacing to servo motor rotor absolute position sensors such as resolvers, SIN/COS, EnDat 2.2 and BiSS-C.

Although motor drives have been around for many years, trends in Industry 4.0 such as TSN, industrial IoT, and functional safety are revolutionizing the role a drive takes in the Smart Factory. Where typically its main function was to drive a motor, a servo drive now must include other features to conform with the needs of Industry 4.0. This paired with the rapid growth of the robotics market has created a need for Smart Servo drives with multi-axis capabilities.

Compliance to Functional Safety standards is becoming a requirement for automotive, transportation, medical and many industrial end equipments. Hercules™ MCUs  are based o
