Model Based Design Process
Modeling and Simulation
The FlexMC Kit is a powerful platform that takes advantage of the flexibility of the MATLAB/Simulink® Modeling Environment with the power of the Analog Devices ADSP-CM408F Mixed-Signal Control Processor, and allows the user to model and implement motor control algorithms for sensor and sensorless motors quickly and easily. In addition, all the inherent abilities of MATLAB, such as digital filter design and fixed point scaling can be utilized and tested in the same environment. Prototype with the power of a PC using MATLAB, then deploy with the FlexMC Kit.Prototype and Test
The FlexMC Kit has all the hardware and software to spin the included motor with speed control "out of the box". Complete with a PMSM motor, the Boston Engineering drive board, a power supply and the Analog Devices ADSP-CM408F EZLITE Kit, this system will allow you to model your system in MATLAB, generate the C code, compiled with IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM and deploy on the ADSP-CM408F. Or, you can use our C libraries as is! Easy connection to motors and the EZLITE Kit make this system perfect for your prototyping needs.
Solution and Production
After the system has been proven, production ready code is available at the push of a button. The ADSP-CM408F easily has the performance so there is bandwidth and memory left for your application! For a shorter, more robust design cycle, use Model Based Development and the FlexMC kit.
