DS1553 AC Motor Control Module

Electric Drive Control

The DS1553 AC Motor Control Module is an I/O plug-on module that is optimized for controlling various electric drives. 

Application Areas

The DS1553 can be installed on all MicroAutoBox III variants with DS1514 FPGA Base Board. 

User-Specific FPGA Programming

The DS1553 provides I/O interfaces for the user-programmable FPGA of the MicroAutoBox III. This way control loops can be outsourced to and directly closed onto the FPGA of the MicroAutoBox. This allows for very fast closed-loop control algorithms with the shortest possible turnaround times. For fast and convenient FPGA-based modeling, the XSG AC Motor Control Library provides ready-to-use, configurable elements to control common electric drives. You do not have to deal with complex signal preprocessing and can fully concentrate on developing new control algorithms in both CPU and FPGA. 

AC Motor Control Solution

The DS1553 offers I/O interfaces for the user-programmable FPGA of MicroAutoBox III when used with the AC Motor Control Solution based on MicroAutoBox III variants with a DS1514 FPGA Base Board. The control of the sensor interfaces commonly used for electric motors, such as Hall, incremental encoders, resolvers, EnDat, or SSI, is performed entirely on the processor via MATLAB®/Simulink® without you having to program the FPGA.
