As an industry first, Intel® brings single-chip, low-cost, non-volatile FPGA-based motor control to the industrial automation market with the Intel® MAX® 10 FPGA. FPGAs offer many benefits in motor control applications. FPGAs leverage the power of a parallel fabric to enable motor-control designers to program their higher-performance algorithms to execute in hardware. This not only provides for faster execution, but off-loads the processor and frees it up for other tasks, such as running an industrial networking protocol stack, or controlling HMI. Parallel hardware also means that multiple instances of algorithms can execute simultaneously in real-time, making multi-axis control extremely cost effective at overall lower processor MIPS, saving on both the high cost and power consumption that would have been forced by a faster processor. Available soft IP cores for industrial networking makes it easy to integrate, modify or alternate between a choice of connectivity options, while available embedded processors enable the creation of complete Drive-on-Chip designs on a single FPGA. Last, but not the least, FPGAs offer motor-control designers the flexibility of altering not only their software code but their hardware design as well. The benefits of FPGA in high-end motor control have been understood for a while, and FPGA-adoption in the high-performance motor control segment is significant. Mid-range motor-control applications, on the other hand, were able to get by with slower, less-flexible microcontroller and DSP based controls. That is changing however and it will be discussed in this presentation.
