Hardware solutions

AD-FMCMOTCON2-EBZ - Controller board

Compatible with all Xilinx FPGA platforms with FMC LPC or HPC connectors
Digital board for interfacing with the low and high voltage drive boards
FMC signals voltage adaptation interface for seamless operation on all FMC voltage levels
Fully isolated digital control and feedback signals
- 2 isolated GPOs
- 2 isolated GPIs
- 18 isolated drive signals – can drive 2 bridges with 4 legs simultaneously
- 6 high speed ADC digital interfaces (data + clock)
Isolated Xilinx XADC interface
2 x Gbit Ethernet PHYs for high speed industrial communication - RGMII mode
Single ended Hall + Differential Hall + Encoder + Resolver interfaces
- 2 x single ended HALL, 2 x differential HALL, 2 x encoder interfaces – this allows 2 motors to be driven simultaneously
Digital sensors interfaces
- EnDat
- BISS Interface

AD-DRVLV2-EBZ - Low voltage drive board

Connects to the Controller board and has a power stage that can drive motors up to 48V and 20A.
Drives 2 motors simultaneously
High frequency drive stage implemented with ADI isolated gate drivers
Supported motor types
- BLDC
- PMSM
- Brushed DC
- Stepper (bipolar / unipolar)
Integrated over current protection
Reverse voltage protection
Current and Voltage measurement using isolated ADCs
- Current measurement on 2 phases for 2 motors
- DC Link Voltage measurement
BEMF zero cross detection for sensorless control of PMSM or BLDC motors
Separate voltage supplies for the 2 motors so that the motors don’t influence each other

AD-DYNO2-EBZ - Dynamometer Drive System

Two BLDC motors connected in a dyno setup
Electronically adjustable load – the load value is set using the onboard buttons + LCD
Programmable step and ramp load changes
Measurement and display of load motor phase currents
Measurement and display of load motor speed
External control and monitoring interface
