Simulink Controller Models

The Vivado HDL design is provided with an integrated FOC and speed & torque controller generated from a Simulink model provided by MathWorks. The controller is designed in Simulink and the corresponding HDL code is generated using the Mathworks HDL Coder.

Field Oriented Controller (FOC)

The FOC controller model is provided by MathWorks and it is integrated in the HDL design as a standalone IP core. Below is presented a top level diagram of the controller's Simulink model. For more information about the model check out the MathWorks website.

The controller model is packaged into an IP core using the Simulink Workflow Advisor. It exposes a set of AXI-Lite registers that can be used to control the IP's operation as well as a set of interface signals for encoder input, current measurement data, inverter control and internal operations monitoring. All the monitoring signals connect to an ADI IP which allows these signals to be monitored from the Linux IIO Scope application. The AXI-Lite registers exposed by the controller IP core can be directly accessed through and uio driver present in the ADI Linux distribution for Zynq. The table below lists the exposed AXI-Lite registers.

Register name Address Data format Type Description
axi_controller_mode 0x100 2 bit word W Sets the controller's operation modes: 3 = open loop, 2 = closed loop, 1 = standby
axi_command 0x104 Sigend fixed point 18.8 W Motor reference speed in rad/s
axi_velocity_p_gain 0x108 Sigend fixed point 18.16 W Proportional gain of the velocity PI controller
axi_velocity_i_gain 0x10C Sigend fixed point 18.15 W Integral gain of the velocity PI controller
axi_current_p_gain 0x110 Sigend fixed point 18.10 W Proportional gain of the current PI controller
axi_current_i_gain 0x114 Sigend fixed point 18.12 W Integral gain of the current PI controller
axi_open_loop_bias 0x118 Sigend fixed point 18.14 W Open loop control command bias
axi_open_loop_scalar 0x11C Sigend fixed point 18.16 W Open loop control command gain
axi_encoder_zero_offset 0x120 Sigend fixed point 18.14 W Encoder offset
axi_electrical_pos_err 0x124 Sigend fixed point 19.14 R Error between actual electrical position and encoder position

The operation of the IP core is controlled through the foc_script.sh script located under /usr/local/bin. The script executes the following steps:

  • Set the FOC controller in open loop mode and wait for the user to start the motor by clicking the Run checkbox in IIO scope
  • Calibrate the encoder readings to remove the offset between the motor's actual electrical position and the position read from the encoder
  • Set the motor's reference speed
  • Start the FOC controller in closed loop mode

The IP core exposes a set of signals for interfacing with the rest of the system. The table below lists the exposed interface signals.

Signal name Direction Width Data format Description
adc_current1 I 18 Signed fixed point 18.17 Phase A current measurement
adc_current2 I 18 Signed fixed point 18.17 Phase B current measurement
encoder_a I 1 Boolean Encoder channel A
encoder_b I 1 Boolean Encoder channel B
encoder_index I 1 Boolean Encoder index
pwm_a O 1 Boolean Phase A PWM control signal
pwm_b O 1 Boolean Phase B PWM control signal
pwm_c O 1 Boolean Phase C PWM control signal
mon_phase_voltage_a O 32 Signed fixed point 32.12 Phase A voltage in Volts
mon_phase_voltage_b O 32 Signed fixed point 32.12 Phase B voltage in Volts
mon_phase_current_a O 32 Signed fixed point 32.15 Phase A current in Amps
mon_phase_current_b O 32 Signed fixed point 32.15 Phase B current in Amps
mon_rotor position O 32 Signed fixed point 32.14 Rotor mecahnical position in radians
mon_electrical position O 32 Signed fixed point 32.14 Rotor electrical position in radians
mon_rotor_velocity O 32 Signed fixed point 32.8 Rotor velocity in rad/s
mon_d_current O 32 Signed fixed point 32.15 d current in Amps
mon_q_current O 32 Signed fixed point 32.15 q current in Amps

Below is presented a picture containing the output of the script, the IIO Scope settings and a controller monitored signals plot.
