dSPACE’s hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system SCALEXIO
®
now offers new hardware and software to help you
develop electric motors.
SCALEXIO for Electric Motors
hardware to switch from processor-
based simulation to FPGA-based sim-
ulation. You can simply continue to
use the existing hardware system.

Processor-Based Simulation of
Electric Motors
The new SCALEXIO EMH Solution
provides a ready-to-use FPGA appli-
cation with a comprehensive I/O
library for processor-based HIL simu-
lation of electric motors. You can
use it to configure the simulation
of up to two electric motors on one
DS2655 FPGA Base Board from
within ConfigurationDesk
®
. Thanks
to the predefined function blocks,
you no longer have to program or
generate FPGA code. The fast I/O of
the DS2655M1 Multi-I/O Module
and the integrated angular process-
ing unit (APU) with a resolution of
8 ns let you use high-resolution I/O
to measure applications in the areas
of pulse width modulation (PWM)
and position sensor simulation (PSS).
The variable I/O channel mapping
and the flexible support of up to five
DS2655M1 Multi-I/O Modules let
you tap the hardware’s full poten-
tial. You do not have to replace
Controlling and Simulating
Electric Motors
The new DS2655M2 Digital I/O
Module adds 32 digital I/O channels
to the DS2655 FPGA Base Board,
letting you capture or generate
more digital signals – e.g., for posi-
tion sensors. Furthermore, the I/O
channels can be configured as send-
ers or receivers for RS232- and
RS485-based communication. With
the appropriate FPGA-based pro-
gramming, you can thus simulate
protocol-based position sensors
(such as SSL, EnDat and Hiperface)
and digital encoders (such as incre-
mental encoders). The FPGA is pro-
grammed for each case via Xilinx
®
System Generator. The FPGA appli-
cation generated by the dSPACE
FPGA Programming Blockset is then
easy to import into dSPACE Con-
figurationDesk to configure the en-
tire SCALEXIO system graphically.
The DS2655 FPGA Base Board can
be connected by ribbon cable with
up to five I/O modules, offering a
highly flexible number of available
channels.
