Drives & Motor Control
Scale multi-axis control with exceptional determinism and real-time performance with AMD SOMs, SoCs, and FPGAs. Achieve better energy efficiency and longer service life for electric drives, enabled by advanced analytics of sensor data.
Actuators in modern applications are electric. Motor control is a dynamic process that requires algorithms with fast reaction on dynamic input parameters. AMD SOMs, SoCs, and FPGAs provide performance to go beyond the control loop frequency limits of a microprocessor. The more processing power dedicated to the motor, the more precise the control achieved. The key is to take advantage of modern power inverter technologies like SiC and GaN, which can be supported by AMD adaptive computing.
Flexible I/O
- The programmable nature of I/Os enables the simultaneous acquisition of data via interfaces from every type of motor
- Flexible support of encoder interfaces, such as Hiperface DSL, EnDat, BISS and others, enables easier adoption
- Scalability, I/O customization, and streaming data into hardware-accelerated algorithms help improve productivity
Time-Sensitive Networking
- Converged networking interfaces support future-readiness for next-generation control architectures
- AMD SoCs and Kria™ SOMs are among the first to support Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), a key standard for the IIoT
Functional Safety
- Safety channels in Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoCs can support up to SIL 3 by using HFT=1 within one common chip and SIL 2 without redundancy
HMI
- Electric drive HMI dashboards can be created by running a local server on the device
- Extended capability by using the Arm® Mali™ GPU available on Zynq UltraScale+ EG/EV devices for 2D/3D rendering
