NXP LPC1500 Motion Control Kit

Table of contents

imageThe drive to enhance motion control in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications has seen a number of recent motor developments. Whether that is sensorless, brushless DC motors (BLDC) or permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) with Field Oriented Control (FOC), these development offer significant energy efficiency improvements, lower acoustic noise and better reliability. However they are more difficult to control and often require more time and effort to tune and calibrate. A situation further exaggerated by the greater variations inherent in low-cost motors.
To help simplify the task and make it easy to tune and calibrate different motors, NXP has developed a dedicated hardware and firmware motor control solution. Using an ARM Cortex-M3 core, the LPC1500 includes an extensive set of motor control peripherals (dual ADCs, QEI, SCTimer / PWMs and comparators) that provide exceptional flexibility in a low-cost, low-power format. This microcontroller is supported by dedicated PMSM / BLDC Field Oriented Control (FOC) software, which includes a fast control algorithm and provides tunable performance for both speed and torque control.
So if you are working with a single motor or multiple motors then simplify your design with NXP's LPC1500. - See more at: http://www.nxp.com/campaigns/motion-control/#sthash.2jK2PR9G.dpuf.

  • Thank you, Christian,  for selecting me as one of the road testers for the NXP LPC1500 Motion Control Kit. I will endeavor to provide a complete set of documentation for the evaluation of the kit and its application to my purpose. I wish the best for Simon Hobson and Man Long Lay in their task that lies ahead.
