Developers can control three-phase motors in minutes with the new ultra-low-cost C2000 Piccolo F2806x InstaSPIN-MOTION LaunchPad development kit from Texas Instruments (TI). It provides a modular, quick-launch development tool containing everything needed — MCU, emulation and, for the first time, InstaSPIN-MOTION software — for engineers to easily and effectively design complete real-time motion control systems with optimized sensored or sensorless motion control.
Built upon TI's established InstaSPIN-FOC motor control solution, InstaSPIN-MOTION is uniquely designed to reduce controller tuning to a single parameter, optimize complex motion sequences and track desired trajectories with unmatched accuracy across operating ranges. The C2000 InstaSPIN-MOTION LaunchPad incorporates all features from the previously introduced InstaSPIN-FOC LaunchPad in addition to new InstaSPIN-MOTION features, enabling developers to take their designs to the next level.
"With the introduction of our C2000 Piccolo F2806x InstaSPIN-MOTION LaunchPad, we are making it even easier for our motion control customers to experiment with and implement our proven InstaSPIN-MOTION and InstaSPIN-FOC control solutions," said Chris Clearman, worldwide manager, motor control solutions.
"Our trusted InstaSPIN and LaunchPad solutions—the result of more than 20 years of TI's investment in motion control technology—enable customers to create differentiated products and accelerate time to market."
